復活節島上的雕像為何而建？ 沒有人能夠確定。 但可以肯定的是，那裡有 900 多座被稱為 "moais "的大型石像。 拉帕努伊（復活節島）石像的平均高度是人的兩倍多，質量是人的 200 多倍。 人們認為，這些不尋常的雕像是在大約 600 年前以一個充滿活力的古老文明的當地領導人的形象創作的。 拉帕努伊已被聯合國教科文組織宣佈為世界遺產。圖為上個月在銀河系中央波段下拍攝到的一些石巨人。 以前未知的沼澤仍在不斷被發現。 另類多APOD 頭版：MyUniverseHub.com
原文：Why were the statues on Easter Island built? No one is sure. What is sure is that over 900 large stone statues called moais exist there. The Rapa Nui (Easter Island) moais stand, on average, over twice as tall as a person and have over 200 times as much mass. It is thought that the unusual statues were created about 600 years ago in the images of local leaders of a vibrant and ancient civilization. Rapa Nui has been declared by UNESCO to a World Heritage Site. Pictured here, some of the stone giants were imaged last month under the central band of our Milky Way galaxy. Previously unknown moais are still being discovered. Alternative Multi-APOD Front Page: MyUniverseHub.com
