刚刚刷手机刷到的消息,蛮多新的东西出来了,不过没时间帮翻译,晚点再翻先贴~
里面很多图片请自己点进去看~
NASA gives Pluto's 'heart' a name, reveals second riveting shot of dwarf
planet
NASA给冥王星的第二张令人注目的照片中见到的「心型」一个名字
In a just-held briefing, NASA says that Pluto's "heart" will be named for the
dwarf planet's original discoverer, a dark spot on moon Charon is called
"Mordor," and Pluto is a relative newborn.

在刚刚召开的发布会中,NASA说冥王星的「心型」将会以这个矮行星的发现者命名,
而冥卫一卡戎上的深色斑点则被称为「摩多」,以及冥王星是一个相对的再生(这句不懂)

This shot shows just one tiny sector of Pluto's surface in amazing detail.
And there's much more to come.
这张照片只展示了冥王星令人惊艳表面表面的一小部分,而且将有更多照片回传。
Yesterday, the New Horizons spacecraft thrilled us with the first
high-quality shot the world had ever seen of Pluto. We were promised that
there would soon be another image of even greater quality, and that's what
NASA just delivered at a press conference at the Johns Hopkins Applied
Physics Lab.
昨日,新视野号传来前所未见的高画质冥王星相片,令我们激动不已,我们保证
很快就会有其他如此棒相片来到。
While there are no buildings on Pluto, thanks to the new image, the
researchers were able to see that the planet does have icy mountains
stretching as high as 11,000 feet. Perhaps even more significantly, because
of the lack of impact craters in this area of the planet, the team is
surmising that Pluto is relatively young -- probably less than 100 million
years old.
由於新的相片,研究人员得以窥见由冰组成高11,000尺(3,500公尺)的群峰,
因为很少陨石撞击坑,因此研究小组推测冥王星表面非常年轻──可能少於一亿年
In addition to the new shot of Pluto, NASA also released this image of its
moon Charon.
除了冥王星的新照片外,NASA也释出了冥卫一卡戎的照片。

The dark spot at the top of Pluto's moon Charon is being called "Mordor."
NASA-JHUAPL-SwRI
Mission Operations Manager Alice Bowman said that the shot "blew our socks
off." She then went on to explain some of the features in the image.
位在卡戎顶部的暗斑,被命名为「摩多」,新视野号任务操作主任Alice Bowman
说对这张照片感到非常兴奋。
She said the dark spot at the top of the moon -- which the team is informally
calling "Mordor," after the black volcanic plane in the "Lord of the Rings"
tales -- is likely a thin veneer. In the southwest area, Bowman said, a
series of troughs and cliffs are visible that extend for 600 miles across the
moon, and at approximately the two o'clock spot on Charon's edge, a canyon
plunging four to six miles deep is also visible.
她说这个被研究组员们非正式称为「摩多」的暗斑,是「魔戒」当中一片黑色的
火山平原,很像是一层薄树皮。 在西南地区,有一系列的峡谷断崖延伸超过
六百英里(965.6公里),约六英里深(9.7公里)。
"There is so much science in this image alone," Bowman said, promising that
an image that will have five times the resolution is coming soon.
「有太多科学在这张图里面」,Bowman并且保证很快地将还会有一张五倍解析度的照片
回传。
A slightly smaller bit of news is that the following image was also released,
of Pluto's moon Hydra.
关於冥卫三许德拉的照片。
It might not look like much to you or me, but it's pretty good considering
New Horizons was 400,000 miles away when it was taken.

也许不识相你我想像的好,但是以新视野号距离她四十万英里(643737.6公里)外拍摄的
状况来说,已经很好了。
Though it's not as captivating as the other shots being returned by New
Horizons, it was enough for NASA researchers to pinpoint the moon's size,
which they'd thought could have been anywhere between 20 to 100 miles across.
Turns out that it's 28 x 19 miles, so "Hydra is not a planet," as Hal Weaver,
New Horizons project scientist, joked.
虽然这张照片不似其他张回传NASA的迷人,不过也够研究人员查明其大小了,
她的尺寸为28*19英里(43 × 33 km)。
研究人员Hal Weaver开玩笑地说道:「她不是一颗行星」。
The other big news of the day is that NASA announced that the big
heart-shaped patch of frost on Pluto, which so many of us are now familiar
with, will be called Tombaugh Regio, after Clyde Tombaugh, the American
astronomer who discovered Pluto in 1930. The announcement drew the biggest
cheers.
其他大消息还有冥王星上巨大的「心型」冰霜补丁,以西元1930年发现冥王星
的美国天文学家克莱德‧汤博命名为「汤博区」。
More data will continue streaming in from New Horizons over the next 16
months, so the discoveries are really just beginning.
更多地资料将会在接下来的十六个月回传,所以「发现」才正要开始呢!
