Very clever young man from France – News in Levels - easy English reading and listening

Fifteen year old Neil Ibata has made a scientific discovery that may change the way we understand the nearest large galaxy to our own - Andromeda.
The school boy from Strasbourg was doing an internship at the city's astronomical observatory
where his father works, when he came across the findings with a new computer program he’d only just learnt how to use.
Admitting he hadn't spent a hundredth of the time using the program as his father, he says: "We calculated the distance and speed of this galaxy, which allowed me to model it. It was the conclusion of several weeks of work. But we can definitely say I had some beginners luck."
The 15-year-old is featured on the cover of science journal Nature and named as a co-author of the study, however, he says he is not sure whether he’ll one day become an astrophysicist.
Interesting words: internship (job which you do to get experience), conclusion (final part of thinking), journal (magazine).
