“You would need to get out of the Milky Way to really see what it looks like. We don't have a way to do that, but we can look at other galaxies and see what they look like.”

“你需要走出银河系列才能看到它真正的样子。我们都没有办法做那件事,但我们可以看看其他的星系,看他们的样子。”

Hubble can provide us with exquisitely detailed images of nearby galaxies, like Messiah 74. It's over 13 million light-years away. But that still makes it one of our nearest neighbors. Its structure is impressively clear. A beautiful spiral galaxy with its stars contained in large arms sweeping out from a bright core.

哈伯太空望远镜可以给我们提供邻近星系精确详细的图像,如距离我们超过1300万光年的弥赛亚74。但是这仍然使它成为离我们最近的邻居。它的结构非常清晰。一个美丽的螺旋星系,恒星群从明亮核心中扫过。

“This is an example of a galaxy that astronomers think looks a lot like our galaxy, the Milky Way. This is a great representation of our own star city. In the central region, we have the downtown. This is the bulge, this bright spot in the middle. And from that, we see spiraling out these arms, his beautiful spiral structures we see in this galaxy.”

“这是一种典型的星系,天文学家们认为,看起来非常像我们的星系,银河系。这是一个很好的表达自己明星的城市。在中部地区,我们有了市中心。这个亮点在中间。从那里,我们看到这些螺旋, 我们看到在这个星系中美丽的螺旋结构。”
