谷歌地球增加了1000張我們星球的新航拍照片,結果證明地球是美麗的
Google Earth has just given you a free pass to explore 1,000 locations on Earth from the comfort of your desk. Taking the Google Earth View collection up to 2,500 landscapes across the globe, the new additions to the gallery prove that there’s an awful lot more to this planet than the animals living on it.
谷歌地球剛剛給了你一張免費的通行證,讓你在舒適的辦公桌上探索地球上的1000個地方。從谷歌地球景觀系列到全球2500幅風景畫,畫廊的新成員證明了地球上的動物遠比我們知道的生活在地球上的動物多得多。

As part of the largest update to the Google Earth View Collection, the recent upload encompasses volcanic regions, desolate seascapes and some scenes so alien it can be hard to even work out what you’re looking at. The images have been optimized to suit 4K screens, bringing some of the most remote spots of the globe to your home in stunning resolution.
作為谷歌地球視圖集合最大更新的一部分,最近的上傳包括火山地區(qū),荒涼的海景和一些場景,所以外星人甚至很難弄清楚你在看什么。這些圖像經過優(yōu)化以適應4K屏幕,將地球上一些最偏遠的地方以驚人的分辨率帶回家。

Flicking through the gallery, it’s hard to believe such aesthetic variety can exist on one planet, and certain scenes, such as the very Mars-like shot of Tabriz, Iran, pictured above, truly seem other-worldly.
瀏覽畫廊時,很難相信這樣的審美多樣性會存在于一個星球上,而某些場景,如上圖中伊朗大不里士的火星式拍攝,確實看起來像是來自另一個世界。

"As a species, we've only had access to views from space for the last 50 years," said Gopal Shah, Product Manager for Google Earth in a Google blog. "Yet something encoded in us long ago seems to wake up when we see the world at this unprecedented scale. My hope then is this funny, little project – along with Google Earth as a whole – moves us to care more deeply about this strange but kaleidoscopically beautiful planet."
谷歌地球的產品經理Gopal Shah在谷歌的博客中說:“作為一個物種,我們只有在過去的50年里才能看到太空景觀。然而,當我們以前所未有的規(guī)??创@個世界時,很久以前在我們內心深處的某種東西似乎醒了過來。我希望這個有趣的小項目——連同谷歌地球作為一個整體——能讓我們更深入地關注這個奇怪但卻如萬花筒般美麗的星球。”

The gallery has been extended to include a color map for locating the thousands of Earth View snaps, and the images, which are available to download, can be used as wallpapers on Android and as screensavers for Chromecast and Google Home.
該圖片庫已經擴展到包括一個彩色地圖,用于定位數千張地球視圖快照,這些圖片可以下載,可以用作Android上的壁紙,也可以用作Chromecast和谷歌Home的屏保。

One particularly arresting shot is the above of the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, which is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world. The bizarre array of colors seen in the spring are the result of “microbial mats,” which form sheets of differing microbes around the edges of the mineral-rich water.
其中一個特別引人注目的鏡頭是黃石國家公園的大棱鏡溫泉,它是美國最大的溫泉,也是世界第三大溫泉。春天里看到的奇怪的顏色是“微生物墊”的結果,它們在富含礦物質的水的邊緣形成了不同的微生物片。

There's so much to see on Google Earth and Google Maps it can feel almost overwhelming – but fear not. Someone already took the time to track down the greatest thing on Google maps.
在谷歌地球和谷歌地圖上有那么多東西可以看,讓人感覺幾乎勢不可擋——但不要害怕。已經有人花時間在谷歌地圖上尋找最偉大的東西了。
