小行星

What's more, the frost seems to be mixed with carbon-bearing material, according to results from two independent teams studying the asteroid, which is known as 24 Themis.

更重要的是，根据两个独立研究这个小行星小组的研究结果，这些霜中似乎混有含碳物质。

It all made sense, except for one tiny problem: this same model also suggested that a little world like Earth shouldn't exist at all; it (or more precisely, the moon-size proto-planets that eventually assembled into Earth) should have spiraled into the sun more than 4 billion years ago.

这种说法基本上讲得通，除了有一点点小问题：这样的模型也说明像地球这么大的小行星根本就无法存在，它（或者更精确点说，加上月球那部分合并成的地球）应该在40多亿年前就呈螺线坠入太阳。

They tend to put it on a par with the likelihood of us being exterminated by a killer asteroid impact.

他们更倾向于认为，这种可能性和人类被小行星撞毁的可能性不相上下。

To put it simply, the earth is a small planet.

简单地说，地球是一个小行星。

The researchers estimate that there also was about a 70% probability that the prominent Tycho crater on the moon, formed 108 million years ago and measuring about 85 kilometres across, was also carved out by a remnant of the earlier asteroid collision.

研究人员估计，月球上著名的第谷陨石坑形成于1.08亿年前，直径约85公里，也是那次较早小行星碰撞造成的。这种可能性为约70%。

The right humanity immerses in the heaven of heavens which oneself creates, forgets oneself, just like the astronomy expected many times such as well as the Earth history once performed the dissimilarity, came from the nameless interspace because the instantaneous interspace erupted the volume giant planetoid which formed, was raiding by the extremely high speed to our sky-blue Earth, moreover the track probably passed through the precise trajectory computation to resemble, 100% collisions to the Earth, launched in the entire human history the only globalization uniformization integration to save Earth's great campaign from this, but after all turned danger into safety, the humanity more and more discovered, each other was such is familiar with such need each other, therefore humanityAfter separates mutually repelled mutually has conquered mutually for several million years, finally under the rational impel has realized the final return unification, from this time on also did not have the language, the custom, the belief difference again, again also did not have the region, the skin color, consciousness barrier, the humanity finally to construct belonged to each earthman's Earth to unify the extremely happy heaven!

正当人类沉浸在自己一手缔造的极乐世界中，忘乎所以的时候，正如多次天文预料的那样以及地球历史曾经上演的一样，一颗来自无名星际间由于瞬间的星际爆发所形成的体积巨大的小行星，正以极高的时速袭向我们蔚蓝色的地球，而且轨道好像经过精确弹道计算似的，百分之百的撞向地球，由此展开了整个人类历史上唯一一次全球化一致化整体化拯救地球的伟大战役，而当一切都化险为夷之后，人类越来越发现，彼此是这样的熟悉这样的需要彼此，于是人类在互相分离互相排斥互相征服了几百万年之后，终于在理性的感召下实现了最终的回归统一，从此再也没有了语言、风俗、信仰的差别，再也没有了地域、肤色、意识的障碍，人类终于构建成了属于每一个地球人的地球统一极乐天堂！

One little prince from a new asteroid in the solar system left because its beauty and naughty. He traveled around various planets. He recognized the king, the vaunter, the drunken men, the businessmen and geologists. At last, he came to the earth, establishing a good relationship with the fox and deriving the essence of life. In the fairy tale, we appreciate sorrow and joy with the little prince and recall the details of their neglected episode.

一个来自太阳系中某颗小行星的小王子，因为和他那美丽，骄傲的玫瑰闹了别扭，便只身出走，在各星球间游历，见识了国王、自负的人、酒鬼、商人、点灯人和地理学家；最后，他降临地球，在这里同狐狸建立了友谊，并且得到了人生的真谛……在童话里我们跟着小王子一起体味忧伤和快乐，回想生活里曾一次次被自己忽略的细节片段，被长大了的我们弄复杂的问题，那些来去如风，经过我们生命的人们。

The only asteroid visible to the naked eye is Vesta, because of its brightness.

用肉眼可以看到的唯一一颗小行星是灶神星，因为它非常明亮。

Main belt asteroid 4 Vesta is at its brightest now.

小行星灶神星在其最亮现在。

Vesta and Ceres lie in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Vesta和Ceres位于火星与木星之间的小行星带。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
