The Adventures of Tintin was created by the cartoonist Hergé. Tintin, a journalist for a newspaper, has been popular with people of all ages. But do you know how Hergé created Tintin and his around-the-world adventures?
In fact, Tintin appeared as a young man of age 15 to 19, with a round face and short red hair just like Hergé’s younger brother Paul. Hergé grew up together with him. As a result, Paul’s
image* stayed in his mind and he created a cartoon hero according to Paul.
It’s also, believed that a French journalist, Robert Sexe prompted the creation of Tintin. Robert travelled with his best friend Milhoux while Tintin’s small white dog, Snowy, had a similar* French name Milou. What’s more, Robert toured the same countries as Tintin did in the first few of Tintin’s adventures.
There is another real-life person in Tintin’s adventures. That’s “Chang,” a friend of Tintin’s. In 1934, Hergé started to write about Tintin’s journey to China, but Hergé hadn’t been to the country yet. To know more about China, he made friends with Zhang Chongren, a young Chinese student in an art college. With the help of Zhang, Tintin’s adventure The Blue Lotus came out. In this book, Zhang became “Chang” under the pen of Hergé, introducing real China to Tintin as well as readers in Europe.
Hergé’s works got ideas from his own life. No other stories may cover so much information from the real world like Tintin!

C
“Are we alone? What’s out there?” Looking up at the stars, people have always wanted to learn more about space, and scientists have been working hard to find the secrets of the universe. Here we’re going to go through a timeline of the important moments of space exploration*.

What is the Big Bang Theory?
The Big Bang Theory is an idea about how our universe began. Many scientists believe that everything in the universe was pressed together and then it separated into smaller pieces very quickly about 14 billion years ago to create the universe. The Big Bang is thought to be the beginning of everything in the universe.
What is the Hubble Space Telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope was put into space in 1990. Hubble is as long as a large school bus ant weighs as much as two elephants. In order to stay above the atmosphere*, it travels around the earth at about 5 miles a second. Hubble is able to get clear pictures of faraway stars. A picture called “HubbleUltra Deep Field” shows some of the farthest galaxies. Pictures from Hubble help scientists learn more about the universe.
What is FAST?
China’s Five-hundred-metre Aperture Spherical Telescope is better known as FAST. It is in Guizhou, China, and it has been used since September 25th, 2016. Its 500-metre dish is the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope. Scientists can use it to search for signals* of communication that are not coming from the earth. If scientists find such things, maybe there is life somewhere else in the universe!
What is Shenzhou-16?
Shenzhou-16 manned spaceship was sent into space from Jiuquan on May 30th, 2023. Shenzhou-l6 connected with Tianhe Core Module 6.5 hours later, with three astronauts inside it. Surprisingly, one of the three -astronauts is a university teacher. In the next months, the three astronauts will do some scientific tests and carry out several spacewalks outside China’s Space Station. Besides, they will give science lessons to students on the earth from the faraway space.
