“Of course, I can't show you a picture of the galaxy on our screen. We can't fly above the galaxy and take a picture of it, and show you. We're stuck in the disc of the galaxy, but we can still image it from the ground, in fact, this image is a picture of our galaxy, the Milky Way, taken from Earth.”
“當然,我不能在我們的屏幕上向你展示一幅巨大的星系。我們不能飛往整個銀河系并拍下它展現給你。我們被困在銀河之中,但是我們仍然可以從地面拍攝照片,事實上,這張照片是我們的星系,銀河系,這是從地球上拍攝的照片。”
This is one of the most detailed images of our galaxy ever created. It's made from 800 million pixels contained in over 1,000 individual photographs taken from the darkest places on earth.
這是一張非常詳細的我們的星系曾經創造的照片。它是用8億像素包含超過1000張來自地球最黑暗的地方的獨立照片。
The photos have been painstakingly stitched together to create this breathtaking vista. But as impressive as it is, it's only part of the picture.
這些照片被精心制作在一起來展現這驚人的景象。但令人印象深刻的是,這只是照片的一部分而已。
“It's something like a pizza and if you were in the pizza, if you were pepperoni, your view would not be a very clear one of what the whole story was. In the same way, we don't see the whole reach of the Milky Way.”
“這有點像一張比薩餅,若你身處于比薩餅中,如果你是辣味香腸、你就不能窺探到全貌。如出一轍的是,我們并沒有看到整個銀河系。
What astronomers really need is a bird's eye view.
天文學家們真正需要的是鳥瞰風景的慧眼。
