世界太空周
每年10月4日至10日是世界太空周，可以让全世界的人了解太空探索和太空技术带来的诸多好处，并庆祝人类在地外取得的成就。其中令人惊叹的宇宙奇观是狼蛛星云，由美国宇航局的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜拍摄。狼蛛星云是本星系群中最明亮、最大的恒星形成区，本星系群也是银河系的所在地。该星云巨大的体积和动态能量为宇宙学家和天文学家提供了大量引人注目的素材。
World Space Week
It's World Space Week, an opportunity to celebrate humanity's extraterrestrial achievements, as well as the benefits that come from space exploration and technology. The star of our homepage is actually a star-forming region known as the Tarantula Nebula, found in the same group of galaxies as our Milky Way. This detailed image was captured by the powerful James Webb Space Telescope and shows thousands of never-before-seen stars, previously obscured by cosmic dust. The nebula's colossal size and dynamic energy offer plenty of compelling material for astronomers and stargazers of all stripes.

圣灵群岛之旅 Whitsunday wanderlust
白天堂海滩，圣灵群岛，澳大利亚
阳光、沙子和海洋汇聚在一起，形成了令人惊叹的圣灵群岛沙滩。圣灵群岛由74个岛屿组成，距离澳大利亚昆士兰州海岸约34英里。游客在这里可以划皮划艇、浮潜、钓鱼、露营，放松身心。它被国家公园大堡礁海洋公园包围，这确保了对这些岛屿的保护。这些岛屿曾是澳大利亚恩加罗人的家园。这个原住民群体也被称为“独木舟人”，因为他们的生活主要围绕着海洋。如今，岛上的主要游客有旅行者、潜水员、露营者和冒险者。所以，下次去澳大利亚度假时，带上防晒霜，去探索原始的白色沙滩吧！
Whitehaven Beach, Whitsunday Island, Australia
Sun,
sand, and sea come together to create the stunning beaches of the
Whitsunday Islands, made up of 74 islands off the coast of Queensland,
Australia. The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park surrounds and protects the
islands, once home to the Ngaro people of Australia, an Aboriginal
group known as the 'canoe people' due to their seafaring lifestyle.
Today, the island's primary visitors are travelers, divers, campers, and
adventure seekers. So, pack your sunscreen and explore the pristine
white sand beaches on your next vacation down under!
