Farsightedness is the opposite, in a way: A shorter-than-average eyeball or too-flat cornea focuses light behind the retina instead of on it, making near vision and sometimes distant vision blurry.
远视在某种程度上则相反，是较正常短些的眼球前后径或者太平坦的角膜使光线聚焦于视网膜后而不是之上，这导致近景视觉模糊和有时的远景视觉模糊;
The idea would be to stare at a distant star and report instances when its light had been bent by the gravity of a planet passing in front of it.
这一方法指的是将目光集中在恒星上，当行星从恒星前经过时产生的引力将会使光线弯曲，这时就会得到关于详细情况的报告。

不过火星比遥远的恒星距离我们更近，光源也更为扩展。
They will also be able to see the first stars and galaxies that formed in the universe, which are now so old and distant that their light has been relegated to the infra-red part of the spectrum.
他们也能够看到宇宙中行成的第一个恒星和星云-这些恒星和星云古老而又遥远，它们发出的光已经被归入红外光谱。
As light from the most distant explosions travels toward Earth, it is stretched by the universe's expansion so that it appears red, a phenomenon known as redshift.
最遥远的爆炸光飞向地球时，被宇宙的膨胀拉长而呈红色——一种被称作红移的现象。
Explanation Similar in size to other large, bright spiral galaxies, IC 342 is a mere 7 million light-years distant in the long-necked, northern constellation Camelopardalis.
