It's eyes leave you " incredulous" even if its cause seems " nebulous" .

它让你感到难以置信，纵然它看起来如星般。

No, in what you call the Promethean Nebula.

不 它位于你们所谓的 普罗米修斯星。

The Sistine Chapel, the Circuit de Monaco, the Orion Nebula or the moon?

西斯廷教堂、摩纳哥赛道、猎户座星球?

So studying supernova remnants, like the Crab Nebula, allowed astronomers to firmly conclude that the vast majority of oxygen on earth was produced by supernova explosions over the history of the universe.

因此，研究像蟹状星那样的超新星的残留物，能让天文学家得出坚定的结论：地球上绝大部分氧元素 都在宇宙的历史长河中由超新星爆炸产生的。

And if the computer simulation is correct, not only many hypervelocity stars, but also neutron stars as well as black holes are rushing towards our galaxy from the Large Magellanic Cloud.

如果计算机模拟正确的，不仅有许多超高速恒星，有中子星和黑洞从大麦哲伦星冲向我们的星系。

Was the philosopher who refused to look through Galileo's telescope more culpable than those who alleged that the spiral nebulae observed with Lord Rosse's great telescope in the 1840s were scratches left by the grinder?

难道拒绝使用伽利略的望远镜去观察天空的哲学家在比19世纪40年代声称用罗斯勋爵高倍望远镜观测到的螺旋状星磨镜工留下的磨痕的人应受到更大的谴责吗？

And small nods of material would have gradually coalesced in this very large cloud.

然后其中的微小物质会逐在一起，在这个巨大的星中。

What you're looking at is thousands of light years away, it's a planetary nebula, a giant cloud of gas that forms around an ancient star that hasn't yet exploded.

你正在看的数千光年以外的一团行星状星，在尚未爆炸的古老恒星周围形成的巨大气体。

When we look at the Orion Nebula with Hubble, WE SEE THOSE DISKS.

当我们用哈勃望远镜观察猎户座星时，我们看到了这些星盘。

This massive star called HH 1177 is in a galaxy called Large Magellanic Cloud.

这颗名为HH 1177的大质量恒星位于大麦哲伦星中。

Spirals fascinated Smithson, and in his writings, he also mentioned their occurrence in galaxies and nebulae, in the structure of crystals, in the human ear, and in particular in Constantin Brancusi's famous portrait of James Joyce.

史密森对螺旋很着迷，在他的著作中，他也提到了它们在星系和星中出现，在晶体结构中出现，在人耳中出现，特别在康斯坦丁·布朗库西对詹姆斯·乔伊斯的著名肖像中。

However, this nebula started off more or less as a big shapeless blob.

但一开始这星或多或少更像个不成形的水滴。

And then, there was this image of the Carina Nebula.

这张船底座星的图像。

On Monday, new images were released showing thousands of never seen before stars and this image of a newborn star from the Orion nebula.

星期一，一组新公布的照片展现了数千颗前所未见的恒星，这张照片猎户座星的一颗新生恒星。

A cloud of agglutinated dust particles, similar to so many similar clusters in the universe.

一团粘的尘埃颗粒，就像宇宙里面许多类似的星。

He saw clusters of stars, brightly colored nebulas, even entire galaxies!

他看到了无数星团，明亮的星，甚至看到了整个银河！

In 2010 it ran out of the cryogenic coolant that enabled its primary mission of mapping the skies.

2010年其低温冷却剂消耗殆尽，而低温冷却剂其绘制星地图的必备。

Those older telescopes had to focus on nebulae, where the interstellar gas is most concentrated (a familiar one, visible through binoculars, is the gas cloud around the stars that make up Orion's sword).

以往的望远镜必须关注星，那里星际气体最集中之处。一个可用双筒望远镜看到的典例气体环绕恒星所形成的猎户座的”剑”。

If scientists had to read or write them out in full when they were discussing things like the molecules of water in a swimming pool or the distance to the Orion nebula, it would take up pages of books.

如果科学家在讨论游泳池里的水分子或距离猎户座星的距离等问题时，必须完整地把它们全部读出来或写出来，就会占用好几页书。

It doesn't have the beauty of a spiral galaxy or a nebula but to a scientist, to a cosmologist, it is the most beautiful picture ever taken, because it contains a vast amount of information about the very earliest history of our universe.

上面没有漂亮的螺旋星系，或星什么的，但对于研究宇宙的科学家来说，这张照片意义非凡，因为它详尽地记载着宇宙最早期的样貌。
