Jupiter Stares Back at NASA
木星“紧盯”美国航空航天局
NASA has released an eerie photograph of Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar system, staring back at the Hubble telescope. The photograph was taken in April, 2014 as Hubble observed Jupiter’s massive storm, also known as the Great Red Spot. When the shadow of Ganymede, the largest moon in our solar system, passed over Jupiter’s storm, it looked just like a pupil inside a giant eye. NASA likened the image of Jupiter to an enormous Cyclops. Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is a massive storm that was discovered by humans in the 1600s. NASA has had its eye more closely on the spot in recent years because studies have shown that the storm is slowly shrinking.
美国国家航空和宇宙航行局公布了瘆人的木星照片,这颗太阳系中最大的行星正在“紧盯”着哈勃望远镜。2014年4月,哈勃望远镜监测到了发生在木星上的风暴,也叫作“大红斑”。木卫三是太阳系中绕木行星中最大的一颗,当木卫三阴影掠过木星风暴时,形成了像眼睛瞳孔一样的画面。NASA将这张木星图像与独眼巨人作比较。木星风暴中的“大红斑”是人类在17世纪发现的。近几年,NASA还将重点放在了这些“大红斑”上,有研究表明风暴规模正在不断缩减。
