[漢羅] 往回地球

是啥物物件欲轉來矣？ 這張相片是 國際太空站 面頂 ê 太空人，tī 2010 年彼陣，頭一擺 ùi 這个距離看著 ê 景色。 彼个物件無偌久就隨變大，變做 烏色 ê 剪影 矣。 等伊飛較倚了後，咱就看會出 這个 剪影 其實是一隻太空船。 落尾，咱總算知影這是 奮進號太空梭。 伊連鞭就欲停踮 踅地球咧行 ê 太空站矣。 這張相片，是 奮進號 飛倚到地球地平線進前去予翕著 ê，咱閣看會著一重一重 ê 地球大氣層。 綴 tī 太空梭後壁彼層藍色 ê，是 中氣層。 白色彼層是 平流層，柑仔色彼層是地球 ê 對流層。 這寡一重一重薄薄 ê 大氣層，攏 kā 加加 leh，嘛比 地球 半徑 ê 2 葩閣較薄。 In 用無仝方式 leh 維持咱 ê 性命，比論講 酸素 會當予咱喘氣，大氣層 kā 危險 ê 輻射 擋 tī 外太空。

[English] Shuttle Over Earth

What’s that approaching? Astronauts on board the International Space Station in 2010 first saw it far in the distance. Soon it enlarged to become a dark silhouette. As it came even closer, the silhouette appeared to be a spaceship. Finally, the object revealed itself to be the Space Shuttle Endeavour, and it soon docked as expected with the Earth-orbiting space station. Pictured here, Endeavour was imaged near Earth’s horizon as it approached, where several layers of the Earth’s atmosphere were visible. Directly behind the shuttle is the mesosphere, which appears blue. The atmospheric layer that appears white is the stratosphere, while the orange layer is Earth’s Troposphere. Together, these thin layers of air – collectively spanning less than 2 percent of Earth’s radius – sustain us all in many ways, including providing oxygen to breath and a barrier to dangerous radiations from space.
