On the face of it, telescopes and data bases sound like very different things. Telescopes sit on the top of mountains, and are pointed at the skies data bases sit on computer hard disks, humming away and going no where. Yet they have something in common; both allow astronomers to explore the universe. Modern telescopes are highly automated pieces of machinery equipped with digital sensors that produce reams of observational data. Such data can be stored, processed and distributed just like other digital information. This means it is no longer necessary for an astronomer actually to visit a telescope to make observation.       Telescopes and data bases complement each other for the astronomer       Telescopes and data bases are both becoming relevant for the astronomer       Telescopes and data bases have nothing in common for the astronomer       Telescopes and Data bases can be confusing to the astronomer 57.  “Data bases sit on computer disks, humming away" implies       Data baes are singing instrument       Data baes are unless and static       Data bases make soft sound but are working away       Data baes are things of the past 58.  Modern data base 'Produce reams of observational data"       Data bases produce lot of information       Data bases are packed with paper       Data bases create information instantly       Data basses are of limited use in storing information 59.        The contemporary astronomer needs to look at the sky from a mountain top       The contemporary astronomer needs a telescope to explore the universe       contemporary astronomer needs a telescope equipped with digital sensors to explore the universe       contemporary astronomer needs a telescope equipped with digital sensors to explore the universe 60.  A good title for the passage will be —       Telescope and exploration of the universe       Digital telescope and exploration of the universe       Astronomers and exploration of the universe       Space exploration in the new millennium
