木星探測器-朱諾號Juno's Successful Mission To Jupiter

「朱諾任務」籌劃團隊決定讓太空船留在較長運行週期的軌道上。朱諾號仍可完成任務，只是要延到2021年的年中了；衍生而出的顧慮則是，木星周圍的強烈輻射可能會損壞朱諾號的儀器，使其無法順利完成預計的近木點飛掠次數。不過，這搜太空船持續發揮它超乎預期的表現。這是一次令人驚嘆的成就。現在，科學家對於木星強大到令人震驚的磁場，有了更甚以往的了解。朱諾號的攝影鏡頭錄下多次新木星風暴，並傳回木星北極的首張照片；甚至還繪製出木星的引力場。

2021年年初時，NASA宣布延長「朱諾任務」，充分增加額外繞行木星的軌道次數一直到2025年。現在，朱諾號有新的目標要完成；每一個額外增加的繞行軌道都會讓朱諾號更加靠近木星的一些大型衛星：葛尼美黛、歐羅巴、伊奧等。這些衛星本身也有其奧秘值得探索。最值得注意的或許就是，歐羅巴冰凍地殼下的液態海洋能否孕育生命。一旦朱諾號傳送訊息回地球的能力到了盡頭，這艘太空船將會執行受控離軌並於木星大氣層中解體焚毀。然而，「朱諾任務」終將因其偉大成就而永遠名留青史。

Juno's mission planners decided to keep the spacecraft on its longer orbit. It could

still complete its mission but not until mid-2021. There was some concern that

the strong radiation surrounding Jupiter would damage Juno's instruments before

it could complete the number of planned flybys. But the spacecraft continued to

perform beyond expectations. It was an astounding success. Scientists now know

more about Jupiter's surprisingly strong magnetic fields than ever before. Juno's

cameras recorded new storms and gave us the first picture of Jupiter's north pole.

It even mapped Jupiter's gravitational field.

radiation 核能；輻射；太陽能

After ten years, radiation from the nuclear power plant in northern Japan still affects the surrounding area.

You must wear sunscreen when you're outside to protect your skin from the sun's radiation.

radiate （v.） 散發；輻射

Faith is extremely popular because she radiates love

and warmth to those around her. 散發關愛

astound震驚

Everyone, including the judges, was astounded by some of the Olympic athletes.

Jason Wu astounded everyone with his design of Michelle Obama's dress.

astounding

Some of the feats that the gymnasts performed at the Olympics were astounding to watch.

to complete a mission

"mission complete" or "mission completed."

instrument = tool

something like a piano or a violin or maybe a tuba大號. drums.

beyond expectations

We all have expectations.

'We hope that something performs at a certain standard. And if something goes beyond our expectations, that means it does even better than we expected. Beyond your expectations. Now this is also good when you think of working hard. Maybe you do a job, and your boss tells you or your teacher tells you, "What you did was

beyond my expectations. You did a fantastic job." It went beyond our greatest expectations, That means it was way better than anything we could have expected or even imagined.

love you to the moon and back.

This phrase is used to express strong affection between two people, whether it's romantic partners, close friends or family.

The phrase emphasizes the great distance between the Earth and the moon. It means the love one has for the other person is greater than that distance.

Guess how much I love you? I love you to the moon and back.

vastness（n.）廣闊；龐大；巨大[U]；無邊無際；廣袤[P]

the vastnesses of space 宇宙空間的廣袤

At the beginning of 2021, NASA announced a mission extension延長, adding additional orbits of Jupiter well into 2025. Juno now also has new objectives to complete. Each additional orbit will bring it closer to some of Jupiter's largest moons: Ganymede, Europa and lo. The moons have their own mysteries to explore. The most notable might be whether or not the liquid oceans below Europa's frozen crust support life.

Once Juno reaches the end of its ability to send information to Earth, the spacecraft will be deorbited and burn up in Jupiter's atmosphere. But the Juno mission will long be remembered for its successes

The Earth's crust, which is about 40-kilometers deep, contains all known life in the universe.

crust 麵包的硬皮或派皮

My mom's pie crust is always light清爽 and flaky酥脆; it is delicious.

crust結成硬塊、硬皮；結痂

Jolene's open sore crusted over as it slowly began to heal.

burn up

Scientists have discovered heat shields to protect spacecraft from burning up when entering the Earth's atmosphere.

burn up生氣到要爆炸

It just burned Joseph up that Fred got all the credit for their joint project.

burn up發燒

I took Margie to the doctor last night because she was burning up with a high fever.

well into遠在

These are the Madeira and

That means it's not right at the beginning of whatever that is, it's way past the beginning.

So it's not January 2025.

The soccer team will continue playing well into the summer.

（their season will continue through summer, almost close to the end of summer.）

Io木衛一

「埃歐」或「伊俄」，是木星的四顆伽利略衛星中最靠近木星的一顆衛星，直徑為3,642公里，是太陽系第四大衛星。名字來自眾神之王宙斯的戀人之一：埃歐，祂是希拉的女祭司。 埃歐有400座的活火山，是太陽系中地質活動最活躍的天體。極端的地質活動是因為埃歐內部受到木星的牽引，造成潮汐摩擦產生的潮汐熱化所導致的結果。

Europa木衛二

木衛二又稱為「歐羅巴」，木星的天然衛星之一，由伽利略於1610年發現，是四顆伽利略衛星中最小的一顆。在已知的67顆木星衛星中，木衛二是直徑和質量第四大，公轉軌道距離木星第六近的一顆。

aliens

When I think of aliens, I think of like movies like Independence Day or the movie Aliens and creatures, big creatures like our size or larger that have eyes and weird arms.

But even a small organism that lives somewhere outside of Earth would be considered an alien.
