On another planet 在另一个世界

今日小常识

Scientists produced this picture by combining infra-red light images from two telescopes in the northern and southern hemispheres. Astronomers from the UK and Chile gathered the data which was then processed and archived by teams at the universities of Edinburgh and Cambridge who, in turn, have made it available to studies around the world.



这是一张合成图像,把通过望远镜拍摄的南,北半球各一张红外线图像合二为一。来自英国和智利的天文学家把数据汇集到一起,然后由爱丁堡和剑桥的科研人员进行处理。最后提供给全世界进行研究。

如果形容一个人是在另一个世界,那就表示这个人对眼前的事情心不在焉,漠不关心。

例句
