中国天文-1号捕捉了星际物体3I/ATLAS的近距离图像,这是空间探索中的一个重要里程碑。
China’s Tianwen-1 captured close-up images of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, marking a major milestone in space exploration.
中国天文-1号火星轨道飞行器从约3 000万公里外采集了星际物体3I/ATLAS的高分辨率图像,标志着该物体最接近的航天器观测之一。
China's Tianwen-1 Mars orbiter captured high-resolution images of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS from about 30 million kilometers away, marking one of the closest spacecraft observations of the object.
中国国家航天局确认,该轨道器探测到清晰的彗星特征,其图像用于制作其运动动画。
The China National Space Administration confirmed the orbiter detected clear cometary features, with images used to create an animation of its motion.
2025年7月发现,3I/ATLAS是第三位已知的太阳系星际访客,可能起源于银河中心附近,估计有30亿至110亿年的历史。
Discovered in July 2025, 3I/ATLAS is the third known interstellar visitor to the solar system, likely originating near the Milky Way’s center and estimated to be 3 to 11 billion years old.
这次成功观测标志着天文一号延长任务的关键成就,也是中国即将到来的天文二号飞行任务的一个技术里程碑,该飞行任务旨在收集小行星样本并研究一个主带彗星。
The successful observation marks a key achievement in Tianwen-1’s extended mission and serves as a technical milestone for China’s upcoming Tianwen-2 mission, which aims to collect asteroid samples and study a main-belt comet.
