thestar.然后,它们可以探测到行星辐射的热量,从而更容易在黑暗中发现它们是发光的球体Theycanthendetectheatbeingradiatedbyplanetsmakingiteasiertospotthemasglowingorbsinthedarkness.最近,天文学家成功地捕捉到了两颗绕着一颗300光年远的类太阳恒星运行的系外行星,这是第一次有人捕捉到这样的图像Recentlyastronomerssuccessfullycapturedtwoexoplanetsorbitingasun-likestarabout300light-yearsawaymarkingthefirsttimeanyonehascapturedsuchanimage.虽然另一个太阳系看起来很舒适,但这些行星与它们的恒星之间的距离比土星和木星与太阳之间的距离要远几百倍WhilethisothersolarsystemlookscozytheplanetsareafewhundredtimesfartherfromtheirstarthanSaturnandJupiterarefromourownsun.行星系统可能包括像地球这样的岩石行星,但它们太小了,即使是最强大的望远镜也无法发现TheplanetarysystemmightincluderockyplanetslikeEarthbuttheywouldbetoosmallforeventhemostpowerfultelescopestospot.这一发现意义重大,因为发光的恒星为探测周围的行星制造了障碍,这就是为什么科学家们使用特殊仪器来阻挡来自这些天体的光Thisdiscoveryissignificantbecauseluminousstarscreateanobstacletodetectingplanetsaroundthemwhichiswhyscientistsusespecialinstrumentstoblockoutthelightcomingfromthesecelestialbodies.在这项技术的帮助下,天文学家可以探测到行星的热辐射,并更容易地定位它们Withthehelpofthistechnologyastronomerscandetectheatradiatingoffofplanetsandlocatethemmoreeasily.这张系外行星绕着一颗类似太阳的恒星旋转的照片促使观众想象在这个系统中生命可能是什么样的Thephotographoftheexoplanetsorbitingasun-likestarpromptstheviewertoimaginewhatlifemightbelikeinthatsystem.虽然另一个世界与地球不完全相同,但其景观似乎有些熟悉,为我们在宇宙中的位置提供了视角WhilethisotherworldisnotidenticaltoEarththelandscapeseemssomehowfamiliarprovidingperspectiveonourplaceintheuniverse.继续探索和发现我们自己以外的系统,以进一步了解宇宙和我们在其中的位置,这是至关重要的Itisessentialtocontinueexploringanddiscoveringsystemsbeyondourowntofurtherourunderstandingofthecosmosandourplacewithinit.。
