Scientists led by Stephen Hawking, pictured, are today using high-tech scanners to discover if a huge, cigar-shaped space object currently hurtling through our solar system was sent by an alien civilisation
史蒂芬· 霍金(Stephen Hawking)領導的科學家們今天正在使用高科技掃描儀來發現目前通過太陽系飛行的一個巨大的雪茄形空間物體是否被外星文明
Professor Hawking and his colleagues at Breakthrough Listen report: 'Researchers working on long-distance space transportation have previously suggested that a cigar or needle shape is the most likely architecture for an interstellar spacecraft, since this would minimise friction and damage from interstellar gas and dust
Hawking教授和他的同事在Breakthrough Listen報告中指出:“從事長距離太空運輸的研究人員之前曾經提出,雪茄或針狀物是星際航天器最有可能的結構,因為這樣可以減少星際氣體和塵埃的摩擦和破壞“。
