科学家首次在四颗富含硅酸盐的小行星上发现了水分子，有助于我们了解地球的水供应和分布。 Scientists discovered water molecules on four silicate-rich asteroids for the first time, aiding our understanding of Earth's water supply and distribution.
西南研究院科学家首次在四颗富含硅酸盐的小行星表面发现水分子。 Scientists from the Southwest Research Institute have discovered water molecules on the surfaces of four silicate-rich asteroids for the first time. 该团队使用平流层红外天文学观测站 (SOFIA) 的 FORCAST 仪器分析了小行星，SOFIA 是美国宇航局和德国航天局的联合项目。 The team analyzed the asteroids using the FORCAST instrument from the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), a joint project of NASA and the German Space Agency. 对这些小行星上水的探测可以深入了解太阳系中水的分布，并揭示水是如何输送到地球的。 The detection of water on these asteroids provides insight into the distribution of water in the solar system and sheds light on how water was delivered to Earth. 这些发现详细发表在《行星科学杂志》上的一篇论文中，该团队现在将使用美国宇航局的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜继续调查其他目标。 The findings are detailed in a paper published in The Planetary Science Journal, and the team will now use NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to continue investigating other targets.
