A Nasa probe has sent back photographs of what appear to be trees on the planet's surface. But it is an optical illusion - they are sand dunes coated with a thin layer of frozen CO2. The

美国宇航局探测器发回看似星球表面树木的照片。不过,这是一个光错觉——它们是覆盖了薄薄一层凝固CO2的沙丘。这些“树”是由于产生冰融化山体滑坡形成的残迹。

An image from the HiRISE camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbitershows dunes on the floor of Martian crater in Noachis Terra, west of the giant Hellas impact basin. The dunes are linear, thought to be due to shifting wind directions

美国宇航局火星探测轨道器上的HiRISE照相机发回的图像显示出巨大的海拉斯撞击盆地西部的诺亚高地中火星陨石坑表面的沙丘。沙丘是线形的,据认为由风向转变促成。

This NASA image obtained shows the 51st entry in Charles Messier's catalogue, perhaps the original spiral nebula, also catalogued as NGC 5194. Over 60,000 light-years across, M51's spiral arms and dust lanes clearly sweep in front of its companion galaxy,

在查尔斯·梅西方尔目录第51条列出的美国宇航局获得的图像表现的也许是最初的螺旋星云,它也被编为新总表(NGC)5194。M51的螺旋臂和尘埃带跨越六万多光年,清晰地扫入伙伴星系NGC5195。来自哈勃高级巡天相机的图像数据经过了加工,突出了细节,增强了色彩和与其它模糊区域的对比,显示出尘埃带,延伸了跨越小伙伴的光流,也突出了环境和M51核心本身的特征。

Still an astrophysical mystery, the evolution of the bulges in spiral galaxies led astronomers to the edge-on galaxy NGC4710. When starring directly at the center of the galaxy, one can detect a faint, ethereal

螺旋星云凸起的演化依然是天体物理学的一个谜。它将天文学家引向侧向星系NGC4710。当你直接注视着银河时,就能检测到一个模糊的虚无缥缈的X形结构……

Bright clusters and nebulae abound in the northern constellation of Auriga. The region includes M38, IC 410 with Tadpoles, the Flaming Star Nebula IC 405, and IC 417 and NGC 1931 (lower left); some say this pair suggests a cosmic spider and fly

御夫座北部有大量明亮的星团和星云。这个区域包括M38、IC410与蝌蚪、火焰星星云IC405和IC417有NGC1931(下左);有人说这一对暗示了宇宙设圈套者和上当者。
