technological and scientific achievements. These are surely our modern wonders.

It is everywhere. More than half a billion people use it, and the number of people
who are online increases by 100 million every year. In 1994 there were only a few
hundred web pages. Today there are billions.

In 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped out of his space capsule onto the surface of the
moon and made his famous statement: “That’s one small step for a man, one
giant leap for mankind”. Since then, there have been space probes to Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, and even to the sun. One day, a space observatory will study how
the first stars and galaxies began.
