[另类]欧洲宇航局发布首张整个宇宙的图像

欧洲宇航局（ESA）发布了由普朗克望远镜（Planck telescope）拍摄的首张整个宇宙的图像。

The satellite, costing 600m euros, was launched last year by the European Space Agency.

搭载普朗克望远镜的卫星耗资6亿欧元，去年由欧洲宇航局发射升空。

It was sent nearly a million miles into space to record the origins of the universe. The Planck observatory's job was to look at the age, contents and evolution of the cosmos by studying the heat left behind by the Big Bang.

普朗克望远镜被发射到距离地表近100万英里的太空，以记录宇宙的起源之光。普朗克天文台的任务是通过研究宇宙大爆炸（the Big Bang）之后遗留的热量，去考察宇宙的年龄、容量与进化。

In September it began to reveal it's first images showing strips of ancient light across the sky. Now it has revealed a full picture of the sky.

从去年九月份起，普朗克望远镜就开始发布它拍摄的首张宇宙图像，图像显示了跨越宇宙的狭长的古老光带。现在普朗克望远镜终于发布了整个宇宙的全景图像。

The image shows what is visible beyond the Earth to instruments that are sensitive to light at very long wavelengths.

这幅图像显示，在地球的另一端人类的仪器可观察到的物质，对波长非常长的光也具有敏感性。

Dominating the picture are large parts of our Milky Way Galaxy. The bright horizontal line running across the middle of the image is the galaxy's main disc and where the Sun and Earth are.

我们所处的银河系的大部分占据了这幅图像的主要部分。横贯图像中央的明亮水平线是银河系的主要光盘，我们太阳系的太阳与地球也身处其中。

Also seen are huge bursts of cold dust that reach thousands of light-years above and below the galactic plane.

在银河盘面的上方与下方，还能看到冰冷的星尘以高达几千光年的速度快速向外迸发。

Scientists will spend years analysing the image to better understand how the Universe came to look the way it does.

科学家将要花好几年去分析这幅图像，以便更好地理解宇宙如何变成现在它所呈现的的样子。

"What you see is the structure of our galaxy in gas and dust, which tells us an awful lot about what is going on in the neighbourhood of the Sun; and it tells us a lot about the way galaxies form when we compare this to other galaxies," Professor Andrew Jaffe, a Planck team member from Imperial College London, told BBC News.

“你看到的是我们处于气体与星尘之中的银河系的结构，关于太阳的邻近星系是怎么回事，这告诉了我们数量惊人的信息；同时与其他星系的形成方式相比，我们银河系的形成方式是什么，这幅图像也告诉了我们大量的信息，”安德鲁·贾菲（Andrew Jaffe）教授告诉英国广播公司（BBC）新闻记者。他是一位来自伦敦帝国学院（Imperial College London）的普朗克望远镜研究团队的成员。

有一种说不出来的奇怪的感觉

第一眼还以为是某气态星球捏……= =

很漂亮 但这真的是整个宇宙么?

这是多少年前发出的光啊……

我们好可怜啊
生活在这么小的地方

觉得好难得的景色

这么看起来才发觉   ....
人类真是个微小的生物啊  ╮(╯▽╰)╭

很壮观很漂亮

咱永远到不了的地方

这是什么技术获得的呢

整个宇宙啊......   颜色还不错~
