In the 16th century, an age of great marine and terrestrial exploration, Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition to sail around the world. As a young Portuguese noble, he served the king of Portugal, but he became involved in the quagmire of political intrigue at court and lost the king's favor. After he was dismissed from service by the king of Portugal, he offered to serve the future Emperor Charles V of Spain. A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New World west of 50 degrees W longitude to Spain and all the land east of that line to Portugal. Magellan offered to prove that the East Indies fell under Spanish authority. On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain with five ships. More than a year later, one of these ships was exploring the topography of South America in search of a water route across the continent. This ship sank, but the remaining four ships searched along the southern peninsula of South America. Finally they found the passage they sought near 50 degrees S latitude. Magellan named this passage the Strait of All Saints, but today it is known as the Strait of Magellan. One ship deserted while in this passage and returned to Spain, so fewer sailors were privileged to gaze at that first panorama of the Pacific Ocean. Those who remained crossed the meridian now known as the International Date Line in the early spring of 1521 after 98 days on the Pacific Ocean. During those long days at sea, many of Magellan's men died of starvation and disease. Later, Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines and was killed in a tribal battle. Only one ship and 17 sailors under the command of the Basque navigator Elcano survived to complete the westward journey to Spain and thus proved once and for all that the world is round, with no precipice at the edge. 14.

Read the passage and choose the best option for each sentence or question: The white rings of Saturn, the second largest planet in the solar system and named for the ancient Roman god of agriculture, were first seen by the Italian astronomer Galileo in 1610. He interpreted the rings as being two smaller bodies, but in the late 1650s Huygens correctly theorized that there was indeed a ring. It was not until the mid-19th century that J.C Maxell demonstrated mathematically that these rings were composed of minute and connected particles. In 1980, the Voyager I spacecraft showed that the ring system was highly structured. This system is vast, some twenty one times the diameter of the Earth, but it has a maximum thickness of only two kilometers. Spectroscopy, the analysis of radiated light to determine the elements present, show that the particles in the system consist of water ice, which is likely to cover rocky silicate cores. The ring may have originated an debris from satellites or comets, though another theory holds that they may consist of material left over from the formation of the planet itself. Apart from the myriad ring particles, themselves satellites of course, there are at least twenty-four larger satellites proper orbiting Saturn. This means that Saturn has the most extensive satellite system yet found among the nine planets of our solar system. More than one-third of Saturn's satellites have been discovered in the past twenty years. While in general less strikingly varied than the moons of Jupiter, those of Saturn do provide one notable exception. Titan. This satellite, second only in size to Jupiter's Ganymede, is unique in the solar system in having a substantial atmosphere. Download 2.03 Mb. Share with your friends:
