A man in New York is asking the city mayor for so much that it is almost impossible to think of a comparison. Andrew Panwool, a 50-year-old banker, is asking for two undecillion dollars. Over 99 percent of people wouldn’t hear of the word “undecillion”. One undecillion dollars is one followed by 36 zeros. The only people who mainly need this word are astrophysicists and astronomers. Two undecillion dollars is a lot more than all the money in the whole world. Even more than all the wealth created throughout entire history. The newspaper reports that Mr Panwool is asking the city mayor for personal injury. It’s because last month a dog bit his finger on a city bus." According to the passage, what is the man asking money for ?

A

Voyager I arrived at Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. Scientists received the best photographs of the planet from Voyager I and they discovered a lot of information about the planet’s cruel weather. Jupiter also has a moon with volcanoes. Voyager I’s next stop was Saturn. Saturn is smaller than Jupiter and it’s most famous for its rings. Voyager II also visited Jupiter and Saturn after Voyager I, but then it continued to Uranus. There was a lot of ice on the surface of Uranus. During its journey round Uranus, there were mechanical problems with Voyager II’s camera. Eventually, scientists fixed it and Voyager II travelled to Neptune and then to Pluto." According to the passage, where did Voyager I arrive after Jupiter ?
