【听力原文】

Most people think of astronomers as people who spend their time in cold observatories7 peering

through telescopes every night. In fact, a typical astronomer spends most of his or her time

analyzing data and may only be at the telescope a few weeks of the year. Some astronomers work

on purely theoretical problems and never use a telescope at all.

You might not know how rarely images are viewed directly through telescopes. The most common

way to observe the skies is to photograph them. The process is very simple. First, a photographic

plate is coated with a light-sensitive material. The plate is positioned so that the image received by

the telescope is recorded on it. Then the image can be developed, enlarged, and published so that

many people can study it.

Because most astronomical objects are very remote, the light we receive from them is rather feeble.

But by using a telescope as a camera, long time exposures can be made. In this way, objects can be

photographed that are a hundred times too faint to be seen by just looking through a telescope.
