Astronomers keep discovering new noisemakers in space: colliding black holes, glitching pulsars, gamma ray bursts.

天文学家仍然致力于寻找太空中新的声源：黑洞碰撞，脉冲星干扰，伽马射线爆破。

Science fiction that's just about people wandering around in space ships shooting each other with ray guns is very dull.

而那些津津乐道于人们在太空船里到处溜达还用射线枪互相射击的科幻作品都非常傻。

Previously, Oates rated as "the most exquisite of intimacies" the ability to occupy the same space as Ray for hours, without the need to speak; now, there is a quite different order of silence.

以前，Oates认为能够和Ray在同一空间安静相处一连几个小时，不需言语，就是“最极致的亲密”。而现在，沉默的等级已大为不同。

Measurements undertaken with two space-based X-ray telescopes imaged the black hole at the centre of galaxy NGC 1365.

Many Americans recognize the unsurpassed science and inspiration that have come from the Hubble Space Telescope over the past two decades, as well as from its less famous sister satellites like the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Spitzer Space (Infrared) Telescope and the Fermi gamma-ray observatory.

Now, an international team of astronomers has trained the Fermi space-based gamma ray telescope on V407 Cygni, a "binary" system comprising a white dwarf star and a red giant companion, 9, 000 light-years away.
