长蛇星系团

说明:


Once upon a midnight dreary,while I pondered weak and weary,

沉闷的子夜,当我疲弱地思索时
O’er volumes of astronomy and forgotten lore,
在天文学及被遗忘的传说书卷上
I stumbled upon this snapshot,cosmic and eerie,
偶然发现了这幅奇异的宇宙快照
A sight that filled my heart with awe and more.
内心满是敬畏

Two stars,like sentinels,anchored the foreground,
在前景,二颗恒星如哨兵伫立
Of our Milky Way galaxy,a sight to behold,
银河系之内,这是引人瞩目的景观
Beyond them,a cluster of Hydra,galaxies abound,
在它们之外,是一个九头蛇的星团,星系众多
100 million light-years away,a story to be told.
一亿光年之外,有着待述说的故事

Three large galaxies,ellipticals and a spiral blue,
三个大星系,形如椭圆还带着蓝色螺旋
Dominant and grand,each 150,000 light-years wide,
主宰且宏伟,个个宽达 15 万光年
But it was the overlapping pair that caught my view,
但最引人注意的却是那对重叠的星系
Cataloged as NGC 3314,a sight I cannot hide.
收录编号 NGC 3314,奇景难掩

Abell 1060,the Hydra galaxy cluster’s name,
Abell 1060,长蛇星系团之名
One of three large galaxy clusters close to our Milky Way,
紧邻银河系的三大星系团之一
A universe bound by gravity,a celestial game,
一个受引力束缚的宇宙,进行着天体的争战
Where clusters align over larger scales,I cannot sway.
更让星系团排出更大尺度的结构,亘古不易

At a distance of 100 million light-years,this snapshot’s size,
以一亿光年的距离估算,这幅图像
1.3 million light-years across,a cosmic delight,
宽 130 万光年,是宇宙的喜颜
A momentary glimpse into the universe’s guise,
瞬间揭开了宇宙的伪装
But even this shall fade,and be nevermore in sight.
然而这也终会消逝,不复出现
