“Star Wars” fans love Tatooine and its twin suns, but astronomers working with one of the world’s biggest telescopes have done Luke Skywalker’s home planet one better.
《星球大战》中的塔图因星球(Tatooine,天行者家族的故乡行星)以及它所绕行的双子太阳深受粉丝的喜爱,然而日前天文学家们利用世界上最大的天文望远镜之一发现了一个比卢克·天行者的故乡所在的星球更胜一筹的行星。
They’ve discovered a bizarre world with not two but three suns ― and seasons that last longer than a human lifetime.
他们发现了一个奇妙的新世界,在这里,你能看到不止两个太阳,而是三个,同时,每一个季节都比人类的一生还要漫长。
Known as HD 131399Ab, the unusual exoplanet is located 320 light-years from Earth in the large southern constellation Centaurus. It’s a gas giant like Jupiter but about four times as massive.
这颗不同寻常的地外行星被命名为HD 131399Ab, 它位于南方巨大的人马星座上,距地球320光年。它是类似于木星的气体巨星,但它的体积是木星的四倍。
And while it’s one of the coldest exoplanets ever to be directly imaged by a telescope (rather than detected as a result of the dimming of starlight as it passes in front of its host star), HD 131399Ab is very hot by human standards. The average temperature exceeds 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
