I would propose that because this symbol was awkward to draw it became distorted and evolved into the symbol that we use today, three lines intersecting in the middle looking almost like a star.

我建议因为这个符号是很难画出来的，被扭曲了并且发展成我们今天使用的符号，3根中间交叉的线，看上去好像一个恒星。

"We'll just have to build new stars out of interstellar gas."

不过，我们可以从星际气体中重新制造新的恒星。

Interstellar dust is formed through several different processes that take place during the lifetime of stars.

在恒星的一生中会以几种不同的方法形成星际尘埃。

These explosions are thought to occur when the dense iron core of a massive star collapses.

这些爆炸被认为是发生在一个密集的大质量恒星坍塌铁芯。

A sprawling island universe, IC 342 would otherwise be a prominent galaxy in our night sky, but it is almost hidden from view behind the veil of stars, gas and dust clouds in the plane of our Milky Way galaxy.

IC 342这个幅源广阔的宇宙岛，应该会是我们夜空中一个很显著的星系，但在我们银河系盘面上的恒星、云气和尘埃的遮掩下，反而几乎隐不可见。

NGC 1999 shows a remarkable jet-black cloud near its center, located just to the right and lower right of the bright star.

Keck is helping astronomers determine the age of the universe and its expansion rate as well as allowing them to watch the birth of stars in other galaxies.

凯克能帮助天文学家探测宇宙的年龄和膨胀的速度，并观测其他星系中恒星的诞生。

Using a technique known as interferometry, the Keck will study dust clouds around stars where planets may be forming.

运用一项被称作干涉测量法的技术，Keck将研究可能形成行星的恒星周围的气体尘埃。

Using Keck II, we have detected six faint star-forming galaxies whose signal has been boosted about 20 times by the magnifying effect of a foreground cluster.

通过 Keck II，我们发现了6个其中恒星正在形成中的的星系，它们的信号已经被它们与我们之间的星系放大了20倍。

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