Planet Parent的意思|示意

NASA's Kepler spacecraft uncovered the new planet, dubbed Kepler 16b, as it transited-or crossed in front of-both its parent stars, causing the brightness of each star to dim periodically..

美国宇航局的开普勒飞船发现了称号为开普勒16 b的新行星，当它飞越或交叉在它的母恒星前面时，会造成了每颗恒星的亮度周期性地变暗。

Our moon and Jupiter's moons share a common characteristic. Each moon has one side that faces toward its parent planet, while the other side faces away.

月球与木星的卫星有一个共同的特征，每一颗卫星都只有一面面向环卫母星，另一面背离。

Not only is the planet a gas giant similar to Jupiter or Saturn, the planet follows an orbit that brings it very close to its parent star.

除了因为它是土星和木星那样的巨型气态行星以外，它运行的轨道有些时候和其母星非常靠近。

The new planet is thought to have a minimum mass 1.25 times that of Jupiter and circles in close proximity to its parent star, with an orbit lasting just 16.2 days.

天文学家们认为这颗新发现的行星的质量至少是木星的1.25倍，它的运行轨道非常贴近其母星，绕其运行一周只需16.2天。

Eventually, one planet loses the battle and winds up in the nether regions of its solar system or kicked out of the parent star's orbital nest entirely.

最终会导致其中一个行星输掉这场较量，失去在这个星系中存在的资格，或者被完全开除出绕恒星运行的轨道。

The planet is located about 1, 400 light years away from Earth and zips around its parent star in only three and a half day.

这颗行星距离地球有1,400光年之远，它围绕恒星高速公转一周只需三天半的时间。
