In the past, people could only guess at what was out in space. People even thought the Earth was the center of the universe*. But over the past 100 years, that has changed. Scientists* have invented things that let us study the universe. Now we know that Earth is only one very small part of the universe. 

  The Taipei Astronomical Museum is a good place to learn about the universe. In the space technology exhibit, people can learn about rockets and satellites. These have let us explore space. They have also changed our lives. People used to use paper maps when they traveled. Now they can use GPS to find places. GPS connects with a satellite in space. Many of us connect with space every day, and we don’t even think about it. 

  If you ever dreamed* of being an astronaut or visiting a space station, then you might  enjoy staying at the Space Inn. The Space Inn is a hostel, but it looks like a space station. The Space Inn has many things to make your stay more comfortable. They even have an  Internet Zone that really feels like it’s a part of a space station. The Space Inn is a fun place for travelers to stay.
