NASA揭示了40亿英里外的地球超现实照片

The famous “Pale Blue Dot” image of Earth taken from 4 billion miles away has been remastered and released by NASA for the snap’s 30th anniversary.

这张著名的“淡蓝点”照片拍摄于40亿英里外，美国国家航空航天局(NASA)为纪念这张照片拍摄30周年，重新制作并发布了这张照片。

To the untrained eye, the image may not look like much, but that one pale blue pixel you’re looking at is Earth in the vastness of space.

对于未经训练的人来说，这幅图像可能看起来并不多，但你看到的这个淡蓝色像素就是浩瀚太空中的地球。

The Pale Blue Dot was one of the final pictures ever taken by NASA’s Voyager probe before its cameras were shut down forever to conserve power.

这个淡蓝色的小点，是美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的旅行者号(Voyager)探测器，在永久关闭相机以节省电力之前，拍摄的最后几张照片之一。

Voyager had already completed its tour of the planets and was set to head into interstellar space.

旅行者号已经完成了它的行星之旅，准备进入星际空间。

However, two imaging scientists working on the mission, Carl Sagan and Carolyn Porco, thought it should take a final photo of the solar system.

然而，卡尔·萨根(Carl Sagan)和卡洛琳·波尔科(Carolyn Porco)这两位从事这项任务的成像科学家认为，它应该对太阳系进行最后的拍照。

Lots of the other planets didn’t turn out as well in the 60 final frames, but something about Earth’s pale blue light has captured the imaginations of space fans for decades.

在最后的60帧中，许多其他行星都没有出现，但几十年来，地球发出的淡蓝色光芒激发了太空迷们的想象。

In his 1994 book “Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space,” Sagan wrote: “Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us.”

萨根在他1994年出版的《浅蓝色圆点:人类在太空中的未来展望》一书中写道:“再看看那个圆点。就在这里。是我们的家。”
