所以非常聪明的人，工程师和科学家，
So the very clever people, the engineers and scientists,
说：“我们可以利用的是我们将阳光用于第三轮。
said, "What we can use is we'll use the sunshine for the third wheel.
“我们会让这东西反射阳光，
"We'll make this thing reflect sunlight off it,
“我们使用另外两个轮子，现在我们可以指向天空了。”
"we use the other two wheels and now we can point in the sky."
微弱的阳光压力有助于稳定望远镜。
The faint pressure of sunlight helped stabilise the telescope.
实际上，这是个好消息，因为它意味着开普勒
That was kind of good news, actually, because it meant Kepler
现在将不得不离开开普勒场
was going to have to go off the Kepler field now
我们可以得到各种其他的恒星并观察它们。
and we could get all kinds of other stars and observe them.
因此，它实际上是恒星天文学的福音。
And so, it actually was a boon for stellar astronomy.
又经过四年的发现，
After another four years of discoveries,
它总共发现了超过 2,600 颗行星，
in total it had found over 2,600 planets,
使它成为迄今为止我们最成功的行星猎人。
making it, by far, our most successful planet hunter to date.
当他们说要命令关闭一切时，这令人难过。
It was sad when they said to command to shut everything down.
你知道，它现在睡着了，
You know, it's asleep now,
它在围绕太阳运行的轨道上，它将继续那个轨道，
it's in orbit around the Sun and it will continue that orbit,
但既然它是从地球发射的，它就会回到地球。
but since it launched from Earth, it will come back to Earth.
它会在大约 40 年后再次访问我们。
It'll come and visit us again in about 40 years.
我希望人们会说，
And my hope is people will say,
“这是一个历史悠久的望远镜。它告诉我们所有这些行星。”
"This is a historic telescope. It told us about all these planets."
他们会上去拿起这台望远镜把它带回地球
And they will go up and pick up this telescope and bring it back to Earth
并放在航♥空♥航♥天♥博物馆供大家欣赏。
and put it in the Air and Space Museum for us all to admire.
下次...
Next time...
..一项强大的新太空任务揭示了我们银河系的历史，
..a powerful new space mission uncovers the history of our galaxy,
银河。
the Milky Way.
它是如何从宇宙神秘的黑暗时代产生的……
How it arose from the universe's mysterious dark age...
..并克服了一系列巨大的碰撞
..and overcame a series of enormous collisions
与竞争对手的星系
with rival galaxies
那为我们自己的到来铺平了道路
that paved the way for our own arrival
在它壮观的旋臂之一里面。
inside one of its magnificent spiral arms.
