陨石坑

A picture posted on the official Xinhua news agency Web site showed the gray surface of the moon splotched with craters.

官方的新华社网站上登载的一张照片显示了灰色的月球表面，上面佈满了陨石坑。

Few scientists will argue that the remnants of an ancient crater, dubbed the impact basin and hundreds of kilometers, wide, exist below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico.

很少有科学家会怀疑，位于墨西哥海峡水下那个数百千米宽的陨石坑就是那次撞击的遗迹。

"If you want your electronics to operate in the shadows of craters on the lunar landscape, for example, you're talking about an extremely frigid environment - minus 230 degrees Celsius or 43 Kelvins above absolute zero," Cressler noted.

&如果您希望您的电子操作的阴影陨石坑的月球景观，例如，你在谈论一个极其寒冷的环境-零下230摄氏度或43 Kelvins比绝对零度&， Cressler指出。

It is generally concluded from the appearance of their heavily cratered surfaces that they have been subjected to bombardment by large meteoroids during their geological history.

拿月亮和火星来说，一般都从它们表面严重的陨石坑得出结论：它们在其地质进化过程中遭到过巨大的陨星的撞击。

The darts, which carry geologically-sensitive equipment, would be shot into craters at 400mph, penetrating to a depth of 6ft, sending back information about possible "moonquakes" and the composition and temperature of the moon's core.

配备地质探测装置的镖状物，将以时速400英里射进陨石坑、穿透月表6英尺，以传送月球可能的地层活动，及月球核心的组成成份和温度的相关资讯。

At first glance, Steins looked like a 5-kilometer wide diamond, but as Rosetta shot by, craters and a more extended shape become evident.

乍看之下，斯坦斯小行星很像一颗宽达5公里的巨型钻石，但随着罗塞塔号渐行渐近，陨石坑和并不很对称的外观变得愈来愈明显。

Space slugs are colossal, worm-like creatures that reside within the furrows and craters of asteroids and airless planetoids.

太空蛞蝓是巨大的，像虫一样的生物，居住在行星轨道间小行星或大气稀薄的小行星上的深沟或陨石坑中。

I remember moons that were even older and more battered than this one; I've seen loads of these moons, seen them being born and running across the sky and dying out, one punctured by hail from shooting stars, another exploding from all its craters, and yet another oozing drops of topaz-colored sweat that evaporated immediately, then being covered by greenish clouds and reduced to a dried-up, spongy shell.

我记得一些更古老的星球，比月亮更加破旧；我看到过那么多的星球，它们一夕诞生，然后划过天空，渐渐陨落。其中一个被流星碎片射中，一个由于陨石坑爆炸，还有一个渗透出浅黄褐色的汗滴，然后一瞬间被蒸发，被绿色的云覆盖，最后渐渐枯竭，皱缩成一个海绵般的壳。

Mariner 4'' was designed to conduct closeup scientific observations of Mars and to transmit these observations to

同时，这张充满了陨石坑、死寂世界的照片，震惊了科学界。

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。
