一顆寂寞的星球 (苦邦音樂)
One Desolate Planet (Kuban Music) --- FB Version
Only in our home galaxy (Milky Way), there are billions of planets,
yet the earth still feels lonely. --- Kuban 苦邦
宇宙是如此的浩瀚的, 星系是如此的繁多的,
肯定會有一些星球會有智慧生命的存在.
僅僅我們地球所處的銀河系(Milky Way)就有2000億顆恒星(Star).
每顆恒星又有數量不等的行星(Planet).
像地球就有八大行星, 每顆行星又有數量不等的衛星.
而銀河系僅僅是宇宙中兩萬億個星系中的一個毫不起眼的小星系.
據科學家估計, 僅我們的銀河系就會有至少100萬個星球存在智慧文明,
其中很多文明非常發達, 地球人類相比他們還算相當落後.
地球遲早將被外星高等文明造訪,
或許早已發生了, 或許從古至今一直都在發生著…

A Merger of Galactic Proportions
By DENNIS OVERBYE
News of two stars in the Andromeda galaxy colliding turned out to be a
false alarm, but measurements show the Milky Way and Andromeda will
collide in about two billion years.
British Inquiry Ties 787 Fire to Beacon
By CHRISTOPHER DREW
American aviation officials said they would review recommendations by British authorities to disconnect batteries in the emergency transmitters on all Boeing 787s.
The summit looks out over a 360-degree view of the Central and Northern Alps and the Yatsugatake range, but the only way there is by a ropewat (sic) which runs from late April through mid-November and is well worth the ¥1,600 round-trip ticket. Swooping up and over the forest, I watched through blue-tinted windows as the Yatsugatake range’s volcanic slopes emerged in a sweeping panorama, the houses below reduced to tiny red-roofed toys. On the down side of the cable, couples, families with dogs (yes, they are allowed) and hardy mountain bikers in helmets worthy of inter-galactic travel floated past, each in their own blue bubble.
An Air Canada jet and an Air New Zealand aircraft swooped down to 4,000ft to assist rescuers in the search for the solo yachtsman who had activated his emergency beacon.
一架加拿大航空客機與一架紐西蘭航空客機將飛行高度驟降到4000呎，以協助搜救人員尋找一名已啟動應急救援無線電信標的單人遊艇駕駛。
n France, Chinese Swoop In To Buy Stake in Savoir-Faire
(By Edward Cody, The Washington Post)
Beacons can also be combined with semaphoric or other indicators to provide important information, such as the status of an airport, by the colour and rotational pattern of its airport beacon, or of pending weather as indicated on a weather beacon mounted at the top of a tall building or similar site. When used in such fashion, beacons can be considered a form of optical telegraphy.

(SAV-wahr-fayr) noun
The ability to say or do the right thing in any situation; tact.

savoir-faire (know-how), from savoir (to know) + faire (to do).
