然而靠近一看 揭示了一直出现的神话
controversy and mystery.
争议和谜团的源头

Almost 240,000 miles from Earth,
距离地球月24万英里
our Moon outshines every othercelestial body in the night sky.
我们的月球在夜空中 亮度胜过其它的天体
The Moon, when it's up and whenit's bright, makes us dream and wonder.
月亮 当它升起带来光明时使我们产生梦想和惊叹
Our enigmatic neighbor is also the sourceof countless unsolved mysteries
我们神秘的近邻也带来了无数悬而未决的谜团
and age-old myths.
和历史悠久的神话
The Moon is a spooky place.It's a mysterious place
月球是个怪异的地方从人类的角度来看
from the human perspective.
这是个神秘的地方
the Moon is a beautiful anda really obvious thing to see.
月球看上去美丽而平淡
It's hard to miss,the big shining Moon in the sky.
难以忽略 天空中明亮的月球
So, i think all people from all timeshave had some need to understand it,
因此 我想所有的人一直在努力了解它
some need to relate to it.
努力适应它
Science may cast an empirical lighton some things about the universe,
科学会就宇宙的问题投射一束观察之光在某些物体上
But lunar experts are the first to admitthey don't have all the answers
然而月球专家在提起月球时首先会承认他们没有解决所有的问题
when it comes to our Moon.
Science is about process,we're never sure about explanation.
科学是个过程 我们从来没有确切的解释
We know so little about the Moon becausewe've only been observing it close up
我们对月球了解得很少 那是因为我们近距离观察它才
for a few hundred years, and it's beenthere for over 4,5 billion years.
几百年的时间 而它的存在已经超过四 五十亿年了
Our Moon teemed with volcanic activitythree to four billion years ago.
我们的月球在三到四亿年前到处都是火山活动
Today, most believe it's an inactivedead world floating through space,
如今 大多数人认为它是个漂浮在太空中的死寂之地
but is it?
然而是这样吗?
1969年7月20日
July 20th, 1969.
Neil Armstrong took hishistoric small step
尼尔.阿姆斯特朗在第一次探访月球表面时迈出了他历史性的一小步
during that first visitto the lunar surface.
That's one small step for man,one giant leap for mankind.
这是个人的一小步 却是人类一个巨大的跨越
While on the Moon, Armstrong reportedseeing what he called an area
在月球上 阿姆斯特朗报告了看到的东西他称有个区域
that is considerably more illuminatedthan the surrounding area,
要比周围的区域明亮得多
and that the area seems to havea slight amount of fluorescence to it.
那个区域好象有一点点荧光
What could it mean?
那表示什么意思呢?
Today, almost 40 years later,
现在 近40年后
no one knows exactly whatthat light source was.
没有人确切地知道那光源究竟是什么
But scientists have witnessedsimilar occurrences.
但是科学家曾经目睹过类似的情形
There been a whole classof changes on the Moon
月球上的整个等级的变化
that have involved brightenings,
已经涉及到明亮
color changes, and evengaseous emissions.
颜色的变化 甚至气体排放
These events have left somelike NASA astronomer Bonnie Buratti,
这些现象已经留给了美国航♥天♥局的天文学家邦妮.布拉蒂那些人
perplexed by what they call
称之为"月球瞬变现象"(LTP)的疑惑
"Lunar Transient Phenomena", or LTPs.
Lunar Transient Phenomenaare controversial.
月球瞬变现象存在着争议
Scientists are veryskeptical about them.
科学家很持怀疑态度
The problem is there's no observations,true and firm, on these events.
问题是对这些现象没有真正牢靠的观察
But ever since the Middle Ages,
然而从中世纪开始
lunar observers have reportedseeing these mysterious lights.
月球观察家已经报告看到了那些神秘之光
They're usually witnessed in thedark shadowy areas of the Moon,
通常被看到处在月球阴暗模糊的区域里
where the contrast is greater.
那里对照更加强烈
They last anywherefrom a few seconds to a few hours,
它们会随机持续几秒到几个小时
and that's why they'vebeen so hard to confirm.
那就是它们很难确认的原因
Convinced that these ethereal displaysare a real phenomenon,
肯定了那些谜一般的表现是真实的现象
but unsure as to what's causing them,
但是不能确定究竟是什么造成的确
experts have honed inon several possible explanations.
专家们已经深入研究几个可能的解释
There have been a number oftheories that have surfaced
对于月球瞬变现象 已经有一些理论
for Lunar Transient Phenomena.
浮出水面
Ever-changing views from Earthmay be causing the appearance
地球上不断变化的视角可能造成了
of bright flashes orsurface changes on the Moon.
月球上光亮闪烁 表面变化的现象
Some of the events that I've seenare clearly just due to turbulence
某些现象 我认为显然只是由于
in the Earth's atmosphere.
地球大气的扰动
These cause movementand change on the Moon.
扰动造成了月球的移♥动♥和变化
But Buratti thinks that not all LTPscan be explained
但是布拉蒂认为不是所有的月球瞬变现象
by atmospheric turbulence.
都能用大气扰动来解释
The anomalies that NeilArmstrong reported
尼尔.阿姆斯特朗所报告的现象
were seen from the lunar surface,
是在月球表面看到的
so atmospheric turbulencecouldn't be causing them.
所以大气扰动不可能造成这种现象
Many astronomers like Laura Danlyat the Griffith Observatory,
许多天文学家 象格利菲斯天文台的劳拉.丹利
believe that the high-velocity impactof meteors and asteroids
认为流星和小行星的高速作用
accounts for much of this activitybeing observed from Earth.
解释了地球上所观察到的这个现象的主要原因
They're traveling very fast,so when they smash into the Moon...
它们移♥动♥得非常得快 所以当它们轰击月球时...
There's a big, bright explosion, really.
确实是一个猛烈明亮的爆♥炸♥
These impact explosions,known as fireballs,
这些碰撞爆♥炸♥ 被认为是火球
may be one source of the activity,
可能是那现象的一个原因
But that premise has a gaping hole in it.
但是前提是存在一个漏洞
Even though we've seen these flasheson the dark side of the Moon,
即使我们已经看到了月球阴暗面的那些闪烁
we haven't identified a craterassociated with any of them.
我们还是没有确定与之相联♥系♥的陨石坑
And that's where we getinto the controversy.
这就让我们陷入了争议
There hasn't been any large eventthat has been unequivocally observed.
没有任何大的事件被确切地观察到
Another possible explanationis that when a meteor hits the Moon,
另一个可能的解释是 当流星击中月球时
it creates a massive crater.
形成了巨大的陨石坑
Landslides around the crater rimkick up mountains of lunar dust.
围绕着陨石坑边缘的山崩抬起了月球尘埃的山体
The fine dust could absorband scatter light rays
纤细的尘埃会吸收和散射光线
or make it appear as if the Moon hassomehow changed its surface features.
或呈现出好象月球某种程度改变了表面特征
It's possible that ifa landslide occurred on the Moon,
有可能 一旦月球表面发生山崩
you would see something from the Earth,
你就会在地球上看到某种现象
the edge of a crater being obscured,a cloud-like feature forming.
陨石坑边缘被遮掩了 形成云状的现象
In other words, we would see a crater wall,
换句话说 我们将看到陨石坑壁
an LTP, and then a collapsed crater wall.
那是月球瞬变现象 接着陨石坑壁垮塌了
We've never seen that yet.
我们一直没有看到过
Perhaps the most controversialtheory behind these lunar anomalies
或许在那些月球异常现象背后最具争议的争议
could alter our viewof the Moon entirely.
将改变我们对月球的整个看法
It would challenge the belief that theMoon has been geologically inactive
它将挑战信念 即月球已经停止地质活动
for millennia.
有几千年了
One of the most intriguing explanationsfor lunar transient phenomena
其中一个对月球瞬变现象最耐人寻味的解释
is active volcanoes on the Moon.
是月球上有活火山
This is the most scientificallyimportant because it would tell us that
这是最科学的重要理论 因为它将告诉我们
the Moon is still geologically active.
月球的地质仍然是活跃的
Photographs taken duringthe Apollo space missions
阿波罗太空任务期间所拍摄的照片
revealed a rocky formation on the lunarsurface called the "inastructure."
揭示了形成于月球表面的岩石是所谓的"非结构的"(inastructure)
With this data, scientists speculated
对于这个资料 科学家推测
that the Moon could haveexperienced volcanic activity
月球可能经历火山活动
in the last million years.
是在过去的数百万年前
The information was groundbreakingand it meant that volcanic activity
这个信息具有突破性 它意味着火山活动
could be the primary source of LTPs,
可能是月球瞬变现象主要起因
but most scientists areyet to be convinced.
但是大多数科学家尚存疑虑
The thing about science is wheneveryou have a theory or a model,
在科学上 每当你有了一个理论或者模型
you have to be able toget data of an event
你必须能够获取其结果的数据
over and over again.
一遍又一遍
In terms of these moremysterious brightenings
在那些更加神秘的增亮
or things that could be volcanic events,
或有可能是火山活动的情况方面
we've never actually hadtwo independent observers
实际上我们从来没有两个独♥立♥的观察者
obtain incontrovertibledata at the same time.
在同一时刻获得无可争辩的数据
Even if the Moon isn'tgeologically active,
即使月球上没有地质活动
some astronomers believethere may be gases left over
有些天文学家认为 可能会有气体
from a time when the volcanicactivity was prevalent.
在当时火山活动频繁时残留了下来
If residual gases reach the surface,
如果残留的气体到达表面
the Sun's rays would scattercolored hues of red and blue
太阳光会散射出气体粒子红与蓝的色彩
from the gas particles.
The Moon could still be experiencing
月球仍然可能在经历着
outgassing without having actualactivity in the interior.
排气而内部实际上没有活动
There are minerals in the Moon thatproduce gases, and they seep up
月球里的矿物产生着气体
to the surface in the Moon and come out.
它们渗透出月球的表面
With so many lunar transientphenomena theories out there,
有这么多的月球瞬变现象理论摆在面前
which is the most plausible?
哪一个是最合理的呢?
Dr. Buratti doesn't point to oneexplanation for the phenomenon.
布拉蒂博士没有明确哪一个适合于现象
I think the reasons forLTP are probably myriad.
