>Satellite finds super-Earth
NASA發(fā)現(xiàn)宜居'超級地球'

After completing its first year of observations in the southern sky, NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has spotted some intriguing new exoplanets only 31 light-years away from Earth.
美國宇航局的過境系外行星測量衛(wèi)星(TESS)在完成對南半球天空的第一年觀測后，發(fā)現(xiàn)了幾顆距離地球僅31光年的有趣的新系外行星。

GJ 357 d, a super-Earth that is 6.1 times the Earth's mass, is the most intriguing because it orbits the star at a distance where the temperature might be just right to support liquid water on the surface.
"超級地球"GJ 357 d的質量是地球的6.1倍，最令研究人員感興趣，因為它圍繞恒星運行的距離使其表面的溫度可能剛好適宜液態(tài)水的存在。

The researchers don't know if the super-Earth is rocky like our own planet, but it orbits the star every 55.7 days and has a temperature of negative 64 degrees Fahrenheit. An atmosphere could cause it to be warmer.
研究人員尚不清楚這顆"超級地球"是否和地球一樣屬于巖質行星，但它的公轉周期為55.7天，溫度為華氏零下64度。如果行星上有大氣層，溫度會更高。

This is humanity's first nearby super-Earth that could harbor life - uncovered with help from TESS.
這是人類在TESS的幫助下發(fā)現(xiàn)的第一顆可能存在生命的近距離"超級地球"。

With a thick atmosphere, the planet GJ 357 d could maintain liquid water on its surface like Earth and we could pick out signs of life with upcoming telescopes soon to be online.
如果存在稠密的大氣層，行星GJ 357 d可能像地球一樣表面可留存液態(tài)水，我們或許可以通過很快即將上線的望遠鏡找到生命的跡象。
