This is designed to probe the nature of "dark energy", which is thought to be responsible for the quickening expansion of the universe that Hubble helped bring to the world's attention.

这个项目被设计用于探索“暗能量”的本质——“哈勃”让世界意识到宇宙正在加速膨胀，而暗能量被认为是这一现象的成因。

Numerous astronomical surveys will probe space-stretching dark energy, although figuring out what it is could take much longer than another decade.

大量的天文观测将会探查使宇宙延展的暗能量，即使再花上十数年才有可能搞清它的真面目。

In the absence of the harpoons, they think, the lander's flexible legs managed to absorb most of the impact energy, but not enough to stop the probe bouncing.

他们认为，缺少了鱼叉，登陆器的伸缩支腿会设法吸收大部分的冲击能量，但这些能量不足以使探测器不会弹起。
