美国有线新闻 CNN NASA上线“生日宇宙”专题 网友可查生日当天的宇宙图像

AZUZ: If you've ever stopped what you're doing, looked up at the sky and thought whoa, I wonder what the Hubble Space Telescope could see on my birthday? Well now you can know. The observatory¹ was launched into orbit in 1990.

如果你曾停下正在做的事情，仰望天空，发出感叹，想知道哈勃太空望远镜在我生日那天会观察到什么？现在你可以知道了。该天文台于1990年发射进入轨道。

It's been maintained and upgraded through numerous spacewalks and all this has come at a cost to the U.S. that approaches $10 billion. But as its whirled around the world at 17,000 miles per hour, it's taken some incredible images of the universe beyond it. And there've been so many pictures throughout the year that NASA says it has one for your birthday. Not the year of course.

其通过无数次太空行走进行维护和升级，所有这些让美国付出了近100亿美元的代价。但当它以每小时1.7万英里的速度环绕地球时，它拍摄到了一些令人难以置信的宇宙图像。由于一年中拍摄了太多照片，现在美国国家航空航天局（简称NASA）表示，有一张图片是你生日当天拍摄的。当然不是今年。

That would weed out anyone born before 1990. But if you know the month and date of your birth, even if that's February 29th of a leap year, Hubble has taken a picture of space that NASA will share with you.

这不包括1990年以前出生的人。但如果你知道你出生的月份和日期，即使是闰年的2月29日，NASA也会和你分享哈勃望远镜拍到的太空图像。
