不,那並不是一艘外星飛船正在月球上著陸!這張照片捕捉到了國際空間站(ISS)開始從月球前方經過的瞬間。國際空間站位於近地軌道(LEO),每 90 分鐘繞地球飛馳一圈。 25 年來,國際空間站每天繞地球執行 16 圈,曾多次“搶鏡”金星、火星、土星和太陽等熟悉的天體。來自 100 多個國家的研究人員已在國際空間站上進行了數千項實驗。在微重力環境下培育蛋白質晶體是國際空間站上的首批實驗之一,至今仍在為新的醫療治療方法做出貢獻。 國際空間站的宇航員們正致力於研究植物生長、水迴圈利用、人類健康等領域,以支援“阿耳忒彌斯”任務——該任務將把人類送往前所未有的遙遠太空。下次您在夜間外出時,不妨試著尋找一下那劃過天際的國際空間站!
原文:Nope, that is not an alien spaceship landing on the Moon! This is an image of the International Space Station (ISS) as it begins to transit in front of the Moon. The ISS is in low-Earth orbit (LEO) where it wizzes around the Earth every 90 minutes. Orbiting the Earth 16 times per day for 25 years, the ISS has photobombed many familiar celestial objects including Venus, Mars, Saturn, and the Sun. Thousands of experiments led by researchers from over one hundred countries have been conducted on the ISS. Growing protein crystals in low-gravity was one of the first experiments onboard the ISS and continues to contribute to new medical treatments. ISS astronauts study plant growth, water recycling, human health, and more to support the Artemis missions which will take humans farther than they’ve ever gone before. Next time you are out and about at night, try to spot the ISS zooming across the sky!
