（中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)）美國(guó)宇航局科學(xué)家周四表示，離太陽(yáng)最近的星球水星，盡管有熾熱的日間溫度，但是在它的北極的永久陰影區(qū)的隕石坑中有冰和凝固的有機(jī)物質(zhì)。

　　圖釋：以上是由波多黎各的阿雷西博天文臺(tái)收集的一張水星北部極地地區(qū)的雷達(dá)圖片。它與2012年11月29日美國(guó)宇航局發(fā)布的一張信使號(hào)太空船在同一地區(qū)收集的加了馬賽克的資料圖片反映的信息重復(fù)了。黃色區(qū)域表示雷達(dá)高反射率地區(qū)。

　　(china daily) despite searing daytime temperatures, mercury, the planet closest to the sun, has ice and frozen organic materials inside permanently shadowed craters in its north pole, nasa scientists said on thursday.

　　earth-based telescopes have been compiling evidence for ice on mercury for 20 years, but the finding of organics was a surprise, say researchers with nasa’s messenger spacecraft, the first probe to orbit mercury.

　　both ice and organic materials, which are similar to tar or coal, were believed to have been delivered millions of years ago by comets and asteroids crashing into the planet.
　　冰和有機(jī)物質(zhì)，類似于柏油和煤炭，被認(rèn)為是百萬(wàn)年前由彗星和小行星與水星碰撞時(shí)產(chǎn)生的。
