CNN News: 月球是太陽系最冷的地方

Where would you find Grimaldi, Copernicus and the Sea of Clouds?

你會在哪里找到格里馬爾迪、哥白尼和云海?

The Sistine Chapel, the Circuit de Monaco, the Orion Nebula or the moon?

西斯廷教堂、摩納哥賽道、獵戶座星云還是月球?

These are all features of the moon, the Earth’s natural satellite.

這些都是地球的自然衛(wèi)星——月球的特征。

AZUZ: And that is our next stop today on CNN 10. To the moon!

這是我們今天CNN 10的下一站。月亮!

Now, this here is what that satellite looks like in 4K, or ultra high definition resolution. It comes to us courtesy of a NASA mission launched in 2009 called the lunar reconnaissance orbiter mission. Its cost is an estimated $583 million. Its goal is to make detailed maps of the moon.

現(xiàn)在，這就是那個衛(wèi)星的4K分辨率，或者超高分辨率。這是美國宇航局2009年發(fā)射的一項(xiàng)任務(wù)，叫做月球勘測軌道飛行器任務(wù)。其費(fèi)用估計為5.83億美元。目標(biāo)是繪制月球的詳細(xì)地圖。

So, this is a virtual tour. If you’ll kindly return your tray tables to their full upright position and direct your attention through the window.

所以，這是一次虛擬之旅。如果你愿意將自己的餐桌處于完全直立的位置，并你的注意力從窗口引開。

You’ll see what the terrain looks like on the moon, and you’ll get a pleasant glimpse of the Orientale Basin which stretches about 580 miles wide.

你將會看到月球上的地形地貌，你將會瞥見向東延伸約580英里的東方隕坑盆地。

Our next point of interest is the Moon’s South Pole, which is believed to be significantly colder than the Earth’s South Pole. In the years since this mission was launched, it sent back some highly detailed views and led to what scientists call some groundbreaking discoveries.

我們的下一個興趣點(diǎn)是月球南極，人們認(rèn)為它比地球南極要冷得多。在這項(xiàng)任務(wù)啟動后的幾年里，它發(fā)回了一些高度詳細(xì)的觀點(diǎn)，并致使科學(xué)家有了一些突破性發(fā)現(xiàn)。

For instance, they believe the coldest spot in our solar system isn’t on the planetoid formally known as the planet Pluto, but instead on the moon, where temperatures can plunge to negative 415 degrees Fahrenheit. So, if humans set off on the moon again, they won’t be able to grill out.

例如，他們認(rèn)為太陽系中最冷的地方不是行星冥王星，而是在月球上，那里的溫度可以降至零下415華氏度。所以，如果人類再次登上月球，那里是無法進(jìn)行燒烤的。
