The heat from this death rattle will transform the solar system; it will briefly be springtime in the Kuiper Belt out beyond Neptune.
但天文学家们不必等那久来证实他们对太阳系外层的理解。斯卡德和他的团队已经掌握了其它柯伊伯带星体的掩星。
Astronomers won't have to wait that long to firm up their understanding of the outer solar system, though: Sicardy and his team already have occultations in hand from other Kuiper Belt objects.
但是对于那些并不了解他的人来说，这里可以介绍下，柯博拉是真正的蓝色昴宿星的联系人，一直被秘密地联络了35年。
