[漢羅] 彩色 ê 土衛十二 Helene

雖罔講這个色彩毋是遐爾清楚，毋過土衛十二 Helene 毋管 tī 佗一款光線下底，攏是一个謎。 這張頭一擺 翕甲遮爾清楚 ê 土星 衛星，是踅土星 ê Cassini 機器人太空船 tī 2012 年 ê 時陣，衝 到 伊 kah 這粒 細細粒衛星 ê 距離賰無一粒地球直徑 ê 時陣翕–ê。 雖罔講有翕著定定 看著 ê 隕石坑 kah 山崙，這張 相片 閣有 翕著 傷平 ê 地形 kah 一逝一逝 ê 地形。 行星天文學家 這馬當 leh 檢查 這寡 Helene ê 詳細相片，就是為著欲 收集線索，通好研究這粒 30 公里大 ê 太空冰山 ê 起源 kah 演化。 Helene 實在是足特別–ê，因為伊踅土星 leh 行 ê 時陣，是行 tiàm 土星 ê 大粒衛星，土衛四 Dione ê 頭前。 伊行 tiàm 一个叫做 Lagrange 點 ê 穩定引力井 彼位。 目前有 4 粒 土星衛星 攏行 tiàm Lagrange 點，Helene 就是其中一粒。

[English] Saturn’s Moon Helene in Color

Although its colors may be subtle, Saturn’s moon Helene is an enigma in any light. The moon was imaged in unprecedented detail in 2012 as the robotic Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn swooped to within a single Earth diameter of the diminutive moon. Although conventional craters and hills appear, the above image also shows terrain that appears unusually smooth and streaked. Planetary astronomers are inspecting these detailed images of Helene to glean clues about the origin and evolution of the 30-km across floating iceberg. Helene is also unusual because it circles Saturn just ahead of the large moon Dione, making it one of only four known Saturnian moons to occupy a gravitational well known as a stable Lagrange point.
