http://goo.gl/1aop9z 轉自：Clnet 剛剛刷手機刷到的消息，蠻多新的東西出來了，不過沒時間幫翻譯，晚點再翻先貼~ 裡面很多圖片請自己點進去看~ NASA gives Pluto's 'heart' a name, reveals second riveting shot of dwarf planet NASA給冥王星的第二張令人注目的照片中見到的「心型」一個名字 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. by Michael Franco @writermfranco July 15, 2015 1:34 PM PDT 在剛剛召開的發佈會中，NASA說冥王星的「心型」將會以這個矮行星的發現者命名， 而冥衛一卡戎上的深色斑點則被稱為「摩多」，以及冥王星是一個相對的再生(這句不懂) http://imgur.com/XWsGURt This shot shows just one tiny sector of Pluto's surface in amazing detail. And there's much more to come. 這張照片只展示了冥王星令人驚艷表面表面的一小部分，而且將有更多照片回傳。 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，新視野號傳來前所未見的高畫質冥王星相片，令我們激動不已，我們保證 很快就會有其他如此棒相片來到。 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，研究人員得以窺見由冰組成高11,000呎（3,500公尺）的群峰， 因為很少隕石撞擊坑，因此研究小組推測冥王星表面非常年輕──可能少於一億年 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也釋出了冥衛一卡戎的照片。 http://imgur.com/QhT9ytR charon.jpg 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. 位在卡戎頂部的暗斑，被命名為「摩多」，新視野號任務操作主任Alice Bowman 說對這張照片感到非常興奮。 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. 她說這個被研究組員們非正式稱為「摩多」的暗斑，是「魔戒」當中一片黑色的 火山平原，很像是一層薄樹皮。 在西南地區，有一系列的峽谷斷崖延伸超過 六百英里（965.6公里），約六英里深（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. 「有太多科學在這張圖裡面」，Bowman並且保證很快地將還會有一張五倍解析度的照片 回傳。 A slightly smaller bit of news is that the following image was also released, of Pluto's moon Hydra. 關於冥衛三許德拉的照片。 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. NASA-JHUAPL-SwRI http://imgur.com/MeWwyx8 也許不識相你我想像的好，但是以新視野號距離她四十萬英里（643737.6公里）外拍攝的 狀況來說，已經很好了。 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. 雖然這張照片不似其他張回傳NASA的迷人，不過也夠研究人員查明其大小了， 她的尺寸為28*19英里（43 × 33 km）。 研究人員Hal Weaver開玩笑地說道：「她不是一顆行星」。 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. 其他大消息還有冥王星上巨大的「心型」冰霜補丁，以西元１９３０年發現冥王星 的美國天文學家克萊德‧湯博命名為「湯博區」。 More data will continue streaming in from New Horizons over the next 16 months, so the discoveries are really just beginning. 更多地資料將會在接下來的十六個月回傳，所以「發現」才正要開始呢！ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iyd-gh2rhM 冥王星上的群山 -- ▁▁ ▕叒嘎▏ ▕木斯▏ ￣￣ --
