保护地球，探索宇宙，发现文明
Lee esta historia en español aquí. 在这里用西班牙语读这个故事。 Teams at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida lifted the Orion spacecraft and placed it atop the Space Launch System (SLS) Moon rocket, completing assembly for the Artemis I flight test. The spacecraft, complete with its launch abort system, was secured in place Oct. 21, 2021, and teams will begin conductin...
The Hubble Space Telescope’s glamour shots of the universe nearly always have a discovery behind them. 哈勃太空望远镜拍摄的迷人的宇宙照片背后几乎都有一个发现。 In this image, a remote galaxy is greatly magnified and distorted by the effects of gravitationally warped space. After its public release, astronomers used the picture to measure the galaxy’s distance of 9.4 billion...
A vivid aurora streams over the Earth as the International Space Station orbits 274 miles above the southern Indian Ocean in between Australia and Antarctica. 在澳大利亚和南极洲之间的南印度洋上空，国际空间站环绕274英里的轨道运行，极光在地球上空闪耀。 The station orbits the Earth in about 90 minutes. In 24 hours, the space station makes 16 orbits of Earth, traveling through 16 sunrises and sunsets. 国际空...
This illustration shows a concept for a set of future robots working together to ferry back samples from the surface of Mars collected by NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover. 这幅插图显示了一组未来的机器人协同工作，从火星表面运回由NASA的火星毅力号火星车收集的样本的概念。 NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) are solidifying concepts for a Mars sample return mission that would seek to take the sample...
With the Lucy spacecraft aboard, a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket is seen as it is rolled out of the Vertical Integration Facility to the launch pad at Space Launch Complex 41, Thursday, Oct. 14, 2021, at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Lucy will be the first spacecraft to study Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids. Like the mission’s...
NASA’s Lucy mission will explore a record-breaking number of asteroids, flying by one asteroid in the solar system’s main asteroid belt, and by seven Trojan asteroids. 美国宇航局的露西任务将探索破纪录的小行星，飞过太阳系主小行星带的一颗小行星，以及七颗特洛伊小行星。 This illustration is of the Lucy mission’s seven targets: the binary asteroid Patroclus/Menoetius, Eurybates, Orus, Leucus, Polyme...
A violent and chaotic-looking mass of gas and dust is seen in this Hubble Space Telescope image of a nearby supernova remnant. Denoted N 63A, the object is the remains of a massive star that exploded, spewing its gaseous layers out into an already turbulent region. 在这张哈勃太空望远镜拍摄的附近超新星残余物的图像中，可以看到一团剧烈而混乱的气体和灰尘。这个天体被称为N 63A，是一颗大质量恒星的残骸，它爆炸后将其气态层喷出到一个已经很混乱的区域。 T...
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features two interacting galaxies that are so intertwined, they have a collective name – Arp 91. Their delicate galactic dance takes place more than 100 million light-years from Earth. The two galaxies comprising Arp 91 have their own names: the lower galaxy, which looks like a bright spot, is NGC 5953, and the oval...
On Oct. 4, 2021, the seven-member Expedition 65 crew gathered for a portrait inside the vestibule in between the International Space Station’s Unity module and Tranquility module. In the front row from left are; Commander Thomas Pesquet of the European Space Agency; and NASA astronauts Megan McArthur and Shane Kimbrough. In the back are: Roscosmos cosm...
This artist’s conception illustrates a Jupiter-like planet alone in the dark of space, floating freely without a parent star. 这幅艺术家的构思图说明了一颗类似木星的行星在黑暗的太空中独自游荡，没有母星。 Exoplanet hunters have found thousands of planets, most orbiting close to their host stars, but relatively few alien worlds have been detected that float freely through the galaxy as so-cal...
