This vocabulary is used to talk about Space explorations and investigations.
We need to ask why Paul devotes so much space to the subject in writing to the Corinthians, while saying little about it to other churches.

Some examples:
A rocket is the type of plane that astronauts used to use to fly into space. Now they are used to leave satellites in orbit around the Earth. It has a special cylindrical shape so that it can go very fast for a long distance.
The sun is the star in the middle of our solar system.
Some telescopes are very powerful and can be used to see thousands of light years away. There are many large powerful telescopes in the north of Chile.
Astronauts need to wear space suits because it is very cold in space and they do not have oxygen to breath.
