恒星

The bright central region is the home of the four heftiest stars in the nebula. The stars are called the Trapezium because they are arranged in a trapezoid pattern.

图中明亮的中心区域是星云中四颗成熟的恒星，他们组成了一个梯形，我们称之为猎户座四边形。

The tune will trave to the North Star, the brightest object in the night sky.

这支曲子将远行到北极星，它是茫茫夜空中最明亮的恒星。

Even though Barnard's Galaxy lacksthe majestic spiral arms and glowing, central bulge that grace its big galactic neighbours, the Milky Way, the Andromeda and the Triangulum galaxies, this dwarf galaxy has no shortage of stellar splendour and pyrotechnics.

尽管巴纳德星系缺少它的那些庞大邻居银河系、仙女座大星系(M31)和三角座星系（M33）等所具有的壮丽旋臂和璀璨的核球，它却不乏恒星焰火效果。

The traveller the detector project scientist Eder · Stone pointed out that the magnetic field this kind of difference function possibly is because in Milky Way the star detonation produces the interspace creates turbulently.

旅行者探测器项目科学家埃德·斯通指出，磁场的这种差异作用可能是由于银河系内恒星爆炸产生的星际间动荡造成的。

Eta Carinae, a star between 100 and 150 more massive than the Sun, is near a point of unstable equilibrium where the star's gravity is almost balanced by the outward pressure of the intense radiation generated in the nuclear furnace.

Eta Carinae，质量是太阳的100到150倍，这是一个不稳定平衡的临界点，也就是恒星的引力通常靠核反应堆所产生的强烈辐射制造的外层气压来平衡的。

An astronomer can examinea galaxy and from its brightness make a guess as to how many stars and how much dusty gas it contains. Yet when we track the movements of galaxies in a self-contained cluster, they move as if galaxy were far heavier than it appear. It's like watching go-carts move as unstoppably as trucks.

尽管天文学家能够对某个星系进行观察并根据其亮度推测它所含恒星的数量和尘埃气体的多少，但是当我们把众多星系作为一个独立存在的整体来观察其运动时就会发现，每个星系运动起来似乎比我们所看到的要重得多，这就像我们看一辆儿童手推车以卡车般巨大、难以阻挡的惯性向前奔驰一样。

M82 is about 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major.

"starburst galaxy"的正确译法是"星暴星系"，意思是有大规模恒星暴发式形成的星系。

This star-facing side has a temperature of about 4,220 degrees Fahrenheit (2,326 degrees Celsius)— hot enough to vaporize rock.

朝向恒星的那一面温度大约为4，220华氏度（2，326摄氏度），足以将岩石蒸发掉。

Some of them have never been seen in visible light.

在这里的3000多颗不同大小的恒星中，有的还不能在可见光波段被观测到。

Vogt said, This discovery shows that in our neighboring star systems, low-mass planets are quite common.

沃格特表示，这一发现表明，在我们邻近的恒星系统中，小质量行星是相当普遍的。

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。
