Henry is an astronomer. He is very excited because he thinks he might have discovered the beginning of a new star. But then he gets even more exciting news ... he’s going to be a father!

Henry looks carefully into the telescope which lets him see far, far away, as far away as the distant nebulae on the far edges of the Milky Way. Henry is an astronomer. He looks at the sky, and at stars in particular. Even though he spends much of his time looking at detailed computer reports, which are just lists and lists of numbers, his favourite thing about his job is looking through the telescope. And today he is very excited. He isn’t sure yet, but he thinks he has seen a dense cloud which might be the beginning of a new star.

Henry is still looking for a tiny point of light in the sky. He checks the lists and lists of numbers that his computer produces, and tries to make sense of them. He tries to turn the basic data into an image, a picture of the star he hopes to see, but it is not yet possible.
He arrives home feeling tired. His wife Anna sits down next to him. ‘I’ve got some news …,’ she says.

Henry is so excited about being a father that he has forgotten about his star. Anna is feeling sick and tired. Henry is no longer thinking about nebulae and clouds and gases. He is thinking about pushchairs and nappies.

Anna and Henry go to the doctor. Anna has an ultrasound scan. Henry is used to seeing distant images of planets and stars and clouds, and now he looks at this image. It almost looks like a cloud, but it is much clearer. He can see the outline of a head, the features of a face. And he realises that this means much more to him than the distant stars he is used to looking at.

Anna finally starts to get fatter. Henry is feeling terrified. For the first time now, he realises exactly what it means. In a few months’ time, he will be a father.

Anna looks at her tummy and now starts to feel that there is another living person inside her. She thinks about Henry’s job, and remembers how excited Henry was a few months ago when he thought that he could see a new star.

Henry thinks that Anna looks a bit like a whale, but that she is very beautiful anyway. He thinks that next Christmas everything will be very, very different.

Anna feels like she wants to sleep all the time. She feels like the baby already wants to come out. The baby is kicking her from inside. She feels like a football. She can’t wait to become a mother. Henry calls her ten times a day on her mobile phone.

It can take as long as ten million years for a star to form, but Henry doesn’t care about seeing his star any more. He knows that although he may be the first person to see a new star, it is impossible for him to see the birth of a star, from its beginning to its appearance. But he doesn’t care, because a new star has just entered his life.
‘But we haven’t thought of a name!’ says Anna, holding the tiny baby in her arms.
‘I have,’ says Henry. ‘I’ve got a beautiful name for her.’
‘What is it?’
‘Stella. Let’s call her Stella.’

ЭВКАЛИПТОВОЕ ДЕРЕВО

The title of one of the tallest trees in the world belongs to eucalyptus. It can compete with Lebanese cedar and Sequoia. The most diverse variety of its species is common in Australia.

Eucalyptus grows extremely quickly. It is adapted to strong temperature changes and stony soils. The height, about two or three meters, he manages to reach in the first years of his life. Also, this tree is known for being able to get rid of the bark on its own. In extended trees, the bark hangs in ragged pieces because the trunk is growing very rapidly and does not have time to cover itself with bark in a timely manner.

In young eucalyptus, tubers begin to form on the roots, growing together with the tree, and with age they become covered with bark.

It is well known that eucalyptus is an evergreen plant, but when the dry period comes, the tree begins to shed its leaves.

In the eucalyptus forest, it is always light, and this is due to the fact that the leaves of the tree are always turned parallel to the light of the sun's rays. This tree grows very quickly, but flowering does not come so soon. Only after a year or two after the appearance of buds, red flowers bloom. The ripening of the fruit, which parrots willingly feast on, also lasts for another year. After ripening, the fruit still hangs on the tree for several years, until it opens up in boxes. It is also known that eucalyptus leaves are readily fed by a herbivorous marsupial animal – a Koala.

Eucalyptus is a valuable plant that has various advantages, because it has a strong wood, which is used to make piles for fixing the Foundation of buildings, and the branches are recycled for the production of paper. The leaves contain essential oils that are widely used in pharmacology and perfumery. Eucalyptus grows in all subtropical and tropical countries. This tree also grows on the territory of Russia, in particular, in the Caucasus and the black sea coast, but it often dies during cold weather.

Let's look at interesting facts:

Eucalyptus flowers produce a sufficient amount of nectar, which is actively fed by insects, birds, opossums and bats. Also, it is known that the flowers do not have petals, they are completely covered with stamens.

The wood of this tree is hard, not rotting, and therefore, is a very valuable material.

The leaves of the tree are used as spices.

Eucalyptus helps humanity get rid of many dangerous diseases. Dry leaves completely retain the most valuable essential oils that they contain.

A decoction of leaves helps a person cope with many ailments. For example, it is used in the following cases: for intestinal pain, gastritis, respiratory diseases, colds, flu.
