Kepler mission

One such example of this is the citizen science project associated with the mission that I'm part of, called the Kepler Mission.

一个类似的例子就是与我参加的任务相关的一个平民科学项目，叫做“开普勒任务”。

NASA's Kepler, a mission tasked with scouring a section of the universe in search of Earth-like planets, used its high-powered telescope to take these negative images of space.

美国宇航局的开普勒，以精练的在一个类似地球的行星，寻找宇宙中的第一个使命任务，利用其高功率利用太空望远镜这些负面形象。

you're looking at data from the Kepler Mission and looking for planets.

你需要观察来自开普勒任务的数据，并寻找行星。

Since the Kepler mission was launched in 2009, it has identified 4696 planet candidates, one thousand of which have been confirmed as planets.

自从2009年开普勒望远镜任务被发射以来，它已经鉴别了4696颗行星资格的候选星球。其中约一千颗被确认为行星。

NASA's Kepler Mission has discovered the first near-Earth-size planet orbiting in the habitable zone of a star very similar to our Sun.

NASA的开普特太空望远镜发现了首颗与地球大小近似并绕一颗类似太阳的恒星运行的行星。

The US space agency's Kepler Space Telescope spent nine years on a planet-hunting mission, successfully identifying thousands of exoplanets in our galaxy before running out of fuel in 2018.

美国国家航空航天局的开普勒太空望远镜花了九年时间搜寻行星，在2018年燃料耗尽之前，成功地在银河系中发现了数千颗系外行星。

In an August 15th teleconference, NASA's Bill Borucki, the mission's principal investigator, noted that Kepler has loads of data that have yet to be fully searched for planets, including those Earth-like worlds that might host life:

但是开普勒卫星尚未完全变为无用之物。8月15日的一次电话会议上，NASA的Bill Borucki，开普勒任务的领头人物，指出开普勒望远镜有大量数据没有被分析，没有探索类地行星的存在。

Last week we told you about the end of an era: NASA ended the Kepler spacecraft's exoplanet-hunting mission, following an irreparable mechanical failure.

上周我们报道了一个时代的结束，由于无法修复的机械故障，NASA结束了开普勒太空飞船的行星探索任务。

Once Kepler's full mission is under way, it will be used to highlight rocky exoplanets that are good candidates for life.

一旦开普勒望远镜的全部任务开展起来，它将用于标示出那些适合生命繁衍的岩质系外行星。
