At first glance this hilly desert landscape appears to show islands of trees casting shadows on reddened soil.
第一眼看這如山的沙漠景觀,在紅土壤上現出有投影的樹島。
But this strange winter wonderland of dusty dunes, icy rivulets and dark outcrops lies 62 million miles away on Mars. And the 'trees,' pictured by a Nasa probe, are actually trails dislodged sand.
但是這個奇怪的塵沙丘的冬季仙境,冰冷的溪流和黑礦脈躺在六千二百萬英里外的火星上。和那些用一部NASA探測器拍到的'樹',實際上是移出沙石的拖曳。
In winter a layer of carbon dioxide ice covers the dunes but this evaporates in spring causing dark material to streak down the slopes.
Sand dislodged from the crests of the Martian dunes cascades down, forming dark streaks

火星樹係假象


【互聯網】美國太空總署火星探測軌道飛行器的攝影機,拍下火星的山丘好像長有一排排樹木的奇景,令科學家震驚。不過原來只是光學幻象,顯示沙丘被結冰二氧化碳的薄層覆蓋,「樹木」只是火星春天融雪引發山泥傾瀉遺下的殘礫痕。
