Read the dialogue below:
Thalia: "Hey, did you hear about the new art gallery
opening downtown? They say it's got some really unique
pieces from local artists."
Blaise: "Yes, I did! I read that some of the artwork
explores themes like urban loneliness and the impact of
technology on our lives."
Thalia: "Exactly. One of the reviews mentioned a painting
that uses dark shades and fragmented images to depict a
city skyline. It's supposed to reflect how disjointed city life
can feel."
Blaise: "Sounds interesting. I wonder if they're planning to
have events or artist talks. Sometimes hearing directly
from the artists adds a lot to understanding their work."
Thalia: "True. But I also appreciate forming my own
interpretations first, then seeing if they align with the
artist's ideas."
Blaise: "Good point! Art's so subjective − I think it's meant
to evoke different responses in each person. Are you
planning to visit soon?"
Thalia: "Definitely! I think it'll be a chance to see how
these artists portray familiar themes in ways that might
challenge or change our perspectives."

ASTEROID WARNING Elon Musk's web of satellites
make it harder to detect dangerous near-Earth
asteroids, scientists warn
Elon Musk's web of satellites makes it harder to detect
dangerous near-Earth asteroids, scientists have warned.
The number of satellites orbiting Earth has soared from
just a few hundred in 1986 to 10,000 today.
Another tenfold increase is expected over the coming
decade - much of it driven by Musk's Starlink network.
Starlink is a fleet of satellites which brings internet to
people with little or no signal - including troops in Ukraine.
But more than 100 astronomers have now warned
against launching more "megaconstellations" of satellites.
The boffins said clogging up the Earth's orbit with
satellites could block their telescopes' view of outer
space.
Professor Robert McMillan told Space: "Artificial
satellites, even those invisible to the naked eye, can
obstruct astronomical observations.
"These observations help detect asteroids and
understand our place in the universe.
"The potentially long-term environmental harms of
deploying tens of thousands of satellites are still unclear."
Light streaks from Starlink have dazzled a California
telescope which scans the sky for exploding stars and
dangerous near-Earth asteroids.
A study found that Musk's satellites could stop the Zwicky
Transient Facility picking up asteroids coming from the
sun.
Around one in five snaps from the huge telescope have
been affected, Scientific American reports.
Expert Przemek Mróz said: "We don't expect Starlink
satellites to affect non-twilight images.
"But if the satellite constellation of other companies goes
into higher orbits, this could cause problems for
non-twilight observations."
Co-author Tom Prince said: "There is a small chance that
we would miss an asteroid or another event hidden
behind a satellite streak."
