This is an author list from the paper that they published of the planet they discovered.
這是他們發表的關于所發現行星論文中的作者列表。
You'll see that all the people who contributed are listed below,
你會看到，所有對此做出貢獻的人們都在以下名單中列出，
and it's sort of an odd amalgam of people's real names and their log-in names.
名單有點像人們真實姓名和他們登錄名的奇怪組合。
You'll notice if you look carefully, this is the first academic acknowledgment of the importance of Irish coffee in the discovery process.
如果仔細觀察，你會發現這是學術圈第一次認可愛爾蘭咖啡在發現行星過程中的重要性。
I don't want to give you the idea that these are some out-of-work scientists or just a bunch of nerds that are really into this.
我不想給你這樣的錯覺，以為這些只是一些失業的科學家或一些書呆子才會癡迷的項目。
There are 60,000 people who participate in these projects, and most of them don't have technical backgrounds.
其實，一共有6萬人參與了這些項目，其中大部分人都沒有技術背景。
So clearly, what this is feeding into is people's curiosity and their willingness to be part of the scientific discovery process.
顯然，人們參與其中是因為好奇心驅使，還有他們參與科學發現過程的意愿。
People want to do this. But all of this technology and all these digitally mediated ways of experiencing the sky
人們想去做這樣的事情。但是所有這些技術，以及所有這些體驗天空的數碼媒介方式，
still have something of a feel to me like looking at an animal in a zoo.
仍帶給我一種像在動物園看動物的感覺。
It's a valid way of experiencing that thing -- indeed, the lion in the cage is still real, the Hubble images are indeed real,
這是體驗天空的有效方式，確實，籠里的獅子依舊是真實的，哈勃圖片也確實是真實的，
and you can get closer to a lion in a zoo than you can in the wild. However, it's missing something.
而且，你在動物園里比在野外更接近獅子。然而，這里缺少了一些東西。
It's missing that savage beauty of experiencing that very thing in the wild for yourself, unmediated by a screen.
缺少你在野外親身體驗到的那種野性之美，未曾經過熒屏這層媒介。
