太阳系之外
Written by 热门榜 on 2008-04-23 – 8:09 pm -看看这个精致的玻璃方块，竟然把整个银河系容纳了整个银河系的缩影。它是用激光将从日本国家天文观像台获得的银河系八万多颗星星数据逐一雕刻在这个玻璃立方体中,
A laser was used to etch around 80,000 of the stars in the Milky Way, using three-dimensional data from the Japan’s National Astronomical Observatory.
想象一下这是人类第一次从这样一个角度来看银河, 人类也肯定在今后很长一段时间内无法抵达这样一个观测点。人类第一次从太空看地球的体验来自一张从1946年上空的无人太空火箭上拍摄的照片, 而人类第一张世界地图是1760年在法国绘制的:
The reason the galaxy is positioned slightly to one side is that the Solar System (in other words, Earth) has been placed in the exact center. This is where the title “Beyond our solar system” originates.
