Telescope Finds An Old, Old Galaxy
Tomorrow is Star Wars Day! So here’s a story about a galaxy far, far away…
明天是星際大戰日!
Telescopes let us see things that are very far away. We can see the moon, stars, and planets. The bigger the telescope is, the more we can see.
望遠鏡可以讓我們看到很遠的東西，像是月球、恆星、還有行星。望遠鏡越大，看得越遠。
The James Webb Telescope is the biggest telescope in space today. It goes around and around the sun. It takes pictures. Then it sends them to Earth. Scientists study the pictures.
詹姆士．韋伯望遠鏡是現今最大的太空望遠鏡。它環繞太陽拍照，再傳回地球給科學家研究。
This telescope takes many cool pictures! It took pictures that show how stars are made. It also took pictures of a small galaxy. Scientists say this galaxy is the oldest we have seen. They say it made between one hundred million stars… and one billion stars!
它拍了很多很酷的照片，讓人看到星星是怎麼形成的，也拍到人類到現在為止看過的最古老的銀河，這個銀河產生了有高達一億到十億個星星。
This galaxy died thirteen billion years ago! That means it stopped making stars then.
但這個銀河在130億年前就不再形成新的星球了。
Telescopes let us see new things far, far away in space! Who knows what pictures the Webb Telescope will send next? Have a great Star Wars Day tomorrow… Tomorrow is May the fourth. It’s a good day to say “May the force be with you!”
