These latest images from the Hubble Telescope are among the clearest evidence yet of the mysterious effect of 'dark matter' on the galaxy - showing distortions akin to seeing an image reflected in a curved mirror. 这些哈勃望远镜所拍摄到的清楚的关于神秘的银河系中暗物质的照片,正如在镜子中看到的扭曲的图案一样。 This image has yielded such impressive results because the galaxy being targeted is MACS 1206, a massive galaxy cluster with a gravitational pull so huge it acts like a giant cosmic 'lens', warping the fabric of space-time so that light from nearby stars is distorted. 这张图片产生了令人印象深刻的结果,因为自从银河系被1206号卫星观测,一个被巨大吸力吸引的星系团正如长镜头一样,扭曲时空的结构形状。这样,从附近的恒星来的光线是扭曲的。 Hubble's Cluster Lensing and Supernova Survey- CLASH - is charting the distribution of dark matter in 25 clusters. 哈勃的集群透镜和超新星调查显示将暗物质的分布分成了25个部分。 The Hubble scientists are scanning cluster galaxies, the most massive objects in the universe held together by gravity, to see if light is distorted by the dark matter inside the clusters. 用哈勃望远镜的科学家正在调查研究拥有宇宙中由重力拉合在一起最密集的集群星系,看看是否光线在暗物质中被扭曲了。 |
