🌍 Google的首席永續官想要讓你看到世界的變化
Google’s Head of Sustainability Wants You to See the Earth in a New Way
☀️Most of us will never travel to space or experience “the overview effect,” a feeling astronauts have reported after seeing Earth from a distance. In orbit, our home looks surprisingly tiny and fragile, surrounded by darkness; as Apollo 8 astronaut Jim Lovell put it in 1968: “The vast loneliness is awe-inspiring, and it makes you realize just what you have back there on Earth.”
大多數人永遠不會進入到外太空或體驗到「總觀效應」的衝擊，一種很多太空人在外太空遠處看到地球時都會體驗到的效應。隨著軌道行駛的家園，意外的小巧脆弱，四周被黑暗包圍住。阿波羅八號的太空人吉姆·洛維爾在1968年就說到，「遼闊的孤寂是如此的不可思議，讓你一瞬間意識到地球上所擁有的一切。」
-orbit: 軌道
-fragile: 脆弱
-vast: 遼闊的
-awe-inspiring: 令人驚嘆的
👀 Many astronauts have returned home with a renewed passion for protecting our fragile planet, and scientists have long tried to recreate the overview effect for citizens using virtual reality, isolation tanks, and videos. Seeing is believing—especially when it comes to abstract concepts, whether it’s Earth’s place in the universe or irreversible climate change.
很多太空人回到地球後就會重新燃起對於保護地球的熱情，科學家也一直努力的想要透過虛擬現實、隔離室和影片去為大眾重現這個總觀效應。眼見為憑，特別是針對抽象的概念，像是地球在宇宙中的處境或不可逆轉的氣候變遷。
-renewed: 重新的
-recreate: 重現
-isolation: 隔離
-irreversible: 不可逆轉
📷 Google Earth’s new TimeLapse feature was inspired by a desire to show us precisely what climate change looks like. Using 24 million satellite images representing quadrillions of pixels compiled over the course of 37 years (thanks in large part to NASA), TimeLapse is an interactive, 4-D experience that illustrates how certain areas of the planet have changed incredibly quickly.
Google Earth最新的縮時攝影功能就是源自於一個想要展示氣候變遷具體樣貌的渴望，將過去37年來的2400萬衛星圖片（大多來自美國太空總署）也就是4.4兆像素集結成一個4D互動性體驗，展現地球的某些區域是如何在短期內經歷驚人的變化。
-satellite images: 衛星圖片
-compiled: 季節
-interactive: 互動性
-illustrates: 展現
