英國少年花200磅拍攝地球照片，效果堪比NASA!

Teenager Takes “NASA” Pictures
少年拍攝堪比NASA的照片

A teenager has captured some amazing images of the Earth. They look like they could be the latest images taken from a multi-million pound NASA satellite but these stunning?snaps were actually taken from a ￡30 camera bought off eBay.
一個少年捕捉到了一些驚人的地球圖像。他們看起來像是從一個價值數(shù)百萬英鎊的美國航天局的衛(wèi)星上拍攝的，但是實際上，這些驚人的照片只是從一個30英鎊從易趣網(wǎng)上買來的相機(jī)拍出來的。

Adam Cudworth, 19, managed to capture these incredible views of the Earth from space using little more than a balloon and his second-hand camera.
亞當(dāng)?德沃斯，19歲，成功地利用一個氣球和一部二手相機(jī)拍攝到了難以置信的地球影像。

Cudworth placed the second-hand camera he had bought in an insulated box along with a small video camera, two temperature sensors, two high-performance solar panels, a tracking device, microprocessor and radio. He then attached it to a high-altitude latex balloon with a parachute and named his invention HABE 5. The balloon climbed to three times the height of a commercial plane before it burst and landed 30 miles from his home. He then retrieved the camera which had recorded stunning snaps and video footage of the Earth from space.
德沃斯把他買的二手相機(jī)以及一個小型攝像機(jī)，溫度傳感器，性能高的太陽能電池板，一個跟蹤裝置，微處理器和無線放置在一個絕緣盒子中。然后他把它附在一個高空乳膠氣球降落傘并命名為HABE5.氣球上升到普通商用飛機(jī)三倍的高度，并在爆裂之前降落在離他家30英里的地面上。然后他取出相機(jī)，記錄了從太空拍攝的令人驚嘆的地球照片和視頻畫面。

And while NASA spends hundreds of millions of pounds each year on high tech satellites, Adam, whose scientific background consists of only a Physics A-Level, achieved his incredible feat—on a ￡200 budget.
美國宇航局在高科技衛(wèi)星的花費(fèi)上達(dá)到了每年數(shù)億英鎊，然而，亞當(dāng)，他的物理成績只是達(dá)到了A級，但是卻完成了驚人的壯舉。只花費(fèi)了兩百預(yù)算。

The teenager, who studies at the Nottingham University, said, “It’s just a bit of hobby really; I just wanted to set myself a challenge—but I’m amazed at the results. I have no background in astrophysics ?or anything like that; I’m just an engineering student.”
這個少年，就讀于諾丁漢大學(xué)，說道：“這只是我的興趣，我只是想讓自己得到挑戰(zhàn)，但是我對結(jié)果非常驚喜，我沒有航天或者其他方面的背景，我只是一個工程系的學(xué)生。

“People think it’s something that costs millions of pounds but I’ve proved you can do it on just a ￡200 budget,” he added.
“人們認(rèn)為要花數(shù)百萬英鎊做的事情，我很自豪我可以用200英鎊就做到了?！彼a(bǔ)充道。?
