And I could turn a black hole into a sun.

The stars are known as Cepheid variables.

这些恒星就是我们熟知的造父变星。

These are all the names of galaxies, massive concentration of stars.

这些都是星系的名字，大量的恒星。

It's a great size with a stellar camera.

Exactly. Because there was slightly more matter, the collisions quickly depleted all the anti-matter and left just enough matter to create stars, planets, and eventually us.

没错，因为物质更多一点，碰撞很快会耗尽所有的反物质并留下足够的物质来产生恒星、星星以及我们。

Unless it's true that he came from a star. But that seems improbable.

In 1997, they saw evidence of planets near other stars like the sun.

Also, if gravity were slightly less powerful the universe would fly apart and there would be no stars or planets.

如果引力稍微弱一点的，就会分崩离析，然后就没有恒星或行星了。

I have loved this place since the day I arrived as a graduate student in 1992. And now you've given me the great honor of leading this university into the future, setting a compass by its constellation of brilliant, if sometimes unruly, stars.

从1992我读研究生的那一天起，我就喜欢上了这个地方。现在，你们给了我极大的殊荣，带领这所大学走向未来，用它明亮但有时难以控制的恒星星座来指引方向。

For 10 out of 10, a star is born?

了不起的新闻事件，恒星也能创造出来？

So like outside our neighborhood and it could be coming from a star.

It's ever so hard to imagine, since stars really look kind of small, that each one's a planet, a sun, or a moon.

It's at this very moment that all the heavier elements in the universe are created, as the star dies, in a super nova explosion.

就是这个时刻，中所有的重元素诞生了，即恒星灭亡时的超新星爆炸。

And it's now proving valuable for helping astronomers and other scientists understand more about the evolution of stars, black holes, and the structure of the Milky Way.

如今，它在帮助天文学家和其他科学家深入了解恒星、黑洞，以及银河系的演变过程方面有重要价值。

Astronomers can estimate the size and brightness of a star by its color.

天文学家能从恒星的颜色估计它的大小和亮度。

Every few years, the stars align, and we get two in one month.

每隔几，恒星就会连成一线，一个就会出现两个满。

When I was a kid, I studied the stars and planets.

我小时候研究恒星和行星。

They've detected thousands of exoplanets orbiting stars outside of our own sun, but this one would be in a galaxy far, far away known as the World Pool Galaxy.

他们已经发现了数千颗围绕太阳外恒星运行的系外行星，但这颗行星位于一个遥远的星系中，被称为“世界池星系”。
