Hey there! Welcome to Life Noggin!
嘿！欢迎来到脑洞大开的生命奇想！
Something I've noticed about you humans is that you love to talk about the weather. Especially when it's not going well.
我注意到你们人类喜欢谈论天气,特别是在天气不好的时候。
But, trust me, Earth weather pales in comparison to the weather on some other planets and stars.
但是，地球的天气与其他行星和恒星的天气相比就相形见绌了。
To start off, let's take a 600 million kilometer trip over to Jupiter.
首先，我们去看看6亿公里外的木星。
Once there, you'd be able to see the Great Red Spot, a high pressure storm that has been raging on for at least 400 years.
到了那里，你就能看到大红斑，这是一场持续了至少400年的高压风暴。
And fun fact for ya: the spot is prohibited from moving north to south.
而且有趣的是：这个红斑没办法从北向南移动。
This is because of the jetstreams above and below it, essentially sandwiching the spot in place.
这是因为上面和下面的喷射流，上下夹击把它固定住了。
However, it is free to move around side to side between the jetstreams. This Spot is so large that three Earths could easily fit inside of it.
然而，它可以自由地在喷射流之间来回移动。这个红斑太大了，都可以放进三个地球。
And with winds reaching speeds over 400 kilometers per hour, you definitely want to steer clear of this thing. Yeah, I'm talking to you storm chasers.
这里的风速400多公里每小时，你一定想要避开这个。是的，我在说你，风暴追球手。
But hey, hurricane-like storms are a little too intense. Let's try a planet that just rains instead.
但是，像飓风一样的风暴有点太强烈了。我们说说一个只下雨的星球吧。
But I should mention, exoplanet HD 189733b doesn't rain water. it rains molten glass. So, yeah, that umbrella won't do you much good. See?
但我要提一下，系外行星HD 189733b不下雨水。下的是熔融玻璃。所以，是的，那把伞对你没有多大用处。看到了吗?
This planet is located 63 light years away from Earth and is considered a Hot Jupiter, meaning it's about the size of Jupiter but much closer to its star than Earth is to the Sun.
这颗行星距离地球63光年，被认为是一个热木星，这意味着它与木星的大小差不多，但与其恒星的距离比地球离太阳更近。
Temperatures on this planet can get higher than 900 degrees Celsius, which heats the silicate particles in the atmosphere, potentially giving rise to molten glass rain.
这个星球上的温度可以达到900摄氏度，这可以加热大气中的硅酸盐颗粒，可能会导致熔融的玻璃雨滴。
But rain can happen in other places in the Universe too! I mean, take a look at the proto-star called HOPS-68. This star is experiencing what can only be described as "crystal rain."
但在宇宙的其他地方也会下雨！我的意思是，看看原恒星hops - 68。这颗恒星正下着“晶体雨”。
See, tiny green crystals made of a mineral called olivine are falling down on this star from its surrounding clouds of gas.
看，由一种叫做橄榄石的矿物组成的小绿晶体从它周围的气体云上掉下来。
The crystals need lava-like temperatures in order to form, so it is likely they form near the surface of the forming star,
这些晶体需要像熔岩那样高的温度才能形成，所以它们很可能在其周围的恒星表面附近形成，
were carried out to the surrounding gas cloud, and fell back down to earth like glitter. Really dangerous glitter.
被带到周围的气体云上，然后闪闪发光地掉到地面上。真是危险的光。
Now, for those of you who hate when the temperature varies dramatically overnight, I have a planet that you should definitely never, EVER, visit.
现在，对于那些讨厌气温在一夜之间发生剧烈变化的人来说，有一个星球，你绝对不能去。
This is another Hot Jupiter called HD 80606b. Really creative name, guys. And this guy can double its temperature in, wait for it, six hours.
这是另一个叫HD 80606b的热木星。真是有创造性的名字，好家伙。这个星球可以在6个小时内把温度翻倍。
It doubles from about 500 degrees Celsius to over 1,200. This is due to its insanely elliptical orbit.
它的温度从500摄氏度升到1200摄氏度。这是由于它的异常椭圆轨道。
The planet takes 111 days to orbit around its star and when it is closest to the star, it receives 800 times more light than when it is farthest away.
这颗行星111天绕着它的恒星运行一周，当它离恒星最近的时候，它接收到的光比最远的时候要多800倍。
Think of it like this: imagine you were to go outside after watching this video and the Sun was 800 times brighter than it had ever been before.想象一下这样的情景：你在观看完这段视频后要出门，太阳的亮度是以前的800倍。
Not only would you be amazed, but sadly, you'd also die from the intense heat. Yeah, science! Sometimes it's fun to think about weather on distant planets.
你不仅会感到惊讶，而且很遗憾，你会被热死。啊，科学！有时想想遥远星球上的天气也非常有趣。
But other times, you need to focus on our own. If you are interested in learning how to save our planet, check out this video.
但其他时候，你需要关心我们自己的星球。如果你有兴趣学习如何拯救我们的星球，看看这个视频。
Most of these come from the Sun and are thus renewable until the Sun swells into a red giant in the next five billion years or so but until then we can harness some of the energy from the Sun using a photovoltaic cell or solar cell.
这些物质大部分来自太阳，因此是可再生，除非太阳在未来的50亿年里膨胀成一个红巨星。但在此之前，我们可以利用光伏电池或太阳能电池来利用太阳的一些能量。
There's a link in the description if you're on your phone. What would your ideal planet's weather be like?
手机观看的话，描述区有一个链接。你理想中的星球天气会是什么样子?
Let me know in the comments below. Or tell us what we should talk about next.
请在下面的评论中告诉我。或者告诉我们接下来应该讨论什么。
As always, I'm Blocko and this has been Life Noggin. Don't forget to keep on thinking!
我是宝高，这里是脑洞大开的生命奇想。思考不要停!
