南非、澳大利亚和新西兰签署一项协议，三国将共同拥有全世界至今最大的电波望远镜。望远镜名为“平方公里阵列”，由3000座天线组成，用来研究彼此加速远离的10亿个星系。项目指挥布莱恩教授说，这将探索宇宙的一些基本秘密。

What is the nature of the dark matter and dark energy, the stuff that makes up 96% of the universe, and yet the stuff we know very little about. It also looks towards the very early and possibly of the universe of a few hundred thousand years after the big bang and looks at how stars and galaxies are formed from that at primordial chaos, and give us new insights into how we came to be our origins.

暗物质的性质是怎样？96%的宇宙都由这种物质构成，然而我们对它所知甚少。该望远镜还将探索大爆炸之前几十万年前宇宙最初可能的样子，以及恒星和星系是如何在混沌中形成的，从而帮助我们了解人类起源问题。

Vatican police have arrested a man reported to be Pope Benedict's butler and in connection with theft of confidential documents from the Pope's private study. From Rome, here's David Willey.

梵蒂冈警方逮捕一名据说是班尼迪克教皇管家的男子，此人涉嫌从教皇私人书房中盗取机密文件。大卫·维利在罗马报道。

The string of secret Vatican documents has been systematically leaked to the Italian press in recent months. Last month, Pope Benedict appointed three senior Vatican cardinals to carry out investigation into how the documents fell into wrong hands. The suspect now being interrogated has been named by the Italian media as Paolo Gabriele, the Pope's private butler. They say Vatican police found a stack of secret documents in his home, just inside the walls of the Vatican city state.
