86%的人星座要改了?NASA:没有的事!
上周四(9月15日),Cosmopolitan杂志网站上的一篇文章吓坏了不少人,由于它说,很多人都把本人的星座给搞错了……
△Cosmopolitan:别崩溃,但你的星座很约莫变了!
Cosmopolitan说,NASA指出星座日期应该重新区分,天下上86%的人的星座将因此产生厘革。不仅云云,星座不是12个,而是13个!
看到这则消息,全天下那些找目标看星座、求职看星座、测验看星座,乃至出门穿什么衣服都要看看星座运势的宝宝们哭晕在厕所了……
△我的星座变了,我很受伤。我以为本人的终身就是一个大话。
△NASA怎样就把星座给改了?已往19年我不休是摩羯座,如今你想让我变成射手座?我不信赖任何人了。
来看看Cosmopolitan的报道是怎样说的:
NASA have decided to update the astrological signs for the first time in 2,000 years, meaning that a whopping 86% of us now have a different sign.
NASA决定重新区分星座,这照旧两千多年来头一遭,这意味着86%的人如今有新的星座了。
If you want to get all technical about it, the reason for this radical change is down to the fact that the sky today is extremely different to how it was thousands of years ago, which makes sense.
假如你想取得一个封建专业的表明,这场星座剧变的缘故是现今的天象以前和数千年前的天象千差万别。这不难了解。
And because Earth's axis no longer points in the same direction, our astrological signs are about a month out.
同时,由于地轴所指的朝向显现了厘革,十二星座的地点比从前大抵事先了一个月。
对了,不是说多出了一个星座么,那是什么鬼?
Oh yeah, let's talk about Ophiuchus [?'fju:k?s] , shall we? NASA sneakily added a 13th zodiac sign a while back, like's it no big thing. WELL. IT. IS.
好的,我们来谈谈蛇夫座吧。NASA前一阵偷偷摸摸地加了第十三个星座,仿佛这没什么大不了似的。可这明白是个大事儿好么。
Ancient astrologers decided to ditch this particular constellation at the time in order for the 12 other signs to divide equally around the sun.
古时的占星家们为了在太阳周围均匀区分12个星座,就把这个星座给去掉了。
But now we guess it's back in the game, and so if you were born between the 29th of November and the 17th December... well, congrats on that.
不外,如今它约莫是要归来回头了。假如你恰好出生在11月29日到12月17日之间,那么,庆贺你了。
对了,Cosmopolitan还给出了新的星座区分时间,你可以瞅瞅:
这则消息很快引发了其他媒体的跟风报道,好比雅虎讯息就说“由于NASA,你的星座变了”,并且表现“我们大大多人立刻就会有身份认同危急了(the majority of us are about to experience a total identity crisis)”。
《镜报》(The Mirror)就淘气了下说,早上通勤的时分,你翻看报纸的星象局部(horoscopes section),说你会有桃花运(have a romantic encounter),于是你就花痴呀花痴,但是并没有碰到什么心仪的人,于是你很扫兴。不外你扫兴也很正常,由于你很约莫→→不休都把星座给搞错了……
△你以为你很懂本人的星座?你约莫这辈子都搞错了
不外,就在人们讨论得不成开交的时分,从来高冷的NASA出来了,说:
Did you recently hear that NASA changed the zodiac signs? Nope, we definitely didn’t…
迩来你是不是听说NASA把星座给改了?压根就没有的事儿……
…Here at NASA, we study astronomy, not astrology. We didn’t change any zodiac signs, we just did the math.
我们NASA只研讨天文学,不研讨占星术。我们没有改星座,我们只是做了盘算。
天文学和占星术有什么区别呢?NASA是如此表明的:
Astronomy is the scientific study of everything in outer space. Astronomers and other scientists know that stars many light years away have no effect on the ordinary activities of humans on Earth.
天文学是研讨外太空万事万物的一门封建。天文学家和其他封建家以为很多光年之外的恒星并不会给地球上人类的平常活动带来影响。
Astrology is something else. It’s not science. No one has shown that astrology can be used to predict the future or describe what people are like based on their birth dates.
占星术是别的一回事儿。占星术不是封建。并没有人能证实占星术能猜测将来,大概依据人们的出生日期能推断出他们的品性。
那毕竟产生了什么呢……Cosmopolitan不是说是NASA说的吗??
原本,NASA本年1月份(你没看错,本年1月份……)在面向儿童的网站Space Place上公布了一篇先容星座和历法的文章。而正是这篇文章在8个月今后被Cosmopolitan掘出,然后颠末层层转达,整了个大讯息……
NASA的这篇文章说,生存在约3000年前的古巴比伦人以为星座的挪动大概会对地球上的事变产生影响。而我们今天所熟知的黄道十二宫正是以他们使用的历法为基本的。不外斗转星移,与古巴比伦时期比拟,当今恒星的地点产生了厘革。固然,文章还提到了被脱漏的蛇夫座。
以是说了这么多,星座毕竟是变了照旧没有变呢??!!听听《卫报》(The Guardian) 给予的解答:
The fact about 86 per cent of people have a different sign than they thought is true. It is the result of a process called precession, where the Earth behaves like a spinning top, which takes 26,000 years and has at the moment moved the zodiac by about a month.
86%的人属于与他们所以为的不同的星座,这是内幕。这是由于岁差惹起的。地球就像一个旋转的陀螺,颠末2.6万年,现今黄道的地点比从条件前了一个月。
And the fact about the missing Ophiuchus, the 13th sign, is true too. It is thought that ancient astrologers might have left out the sign to neatly divide up the 360-degree path of the sun into 12 neat parts, each making up 30-degrees.
此前被忽略的第十三个星座——蛇夫座,也是的确存在的。古时的占星家们很约莫为了将360度的黄道中分红12局部,使每个星座占整30度而存心忽略了蛇夫座。
But modern astrology is its own thing, and acts by its own rules. It doesn’t really matter whether the star signs change as long as everyone still reads their old one, and astrologers still write about them the same way.
但是古代的占星术独树一帜,有着本人的端正。只需人们还尊奉之前的星座,占卜家们仍旧按之前的星座解读,那么星座改不改就并不紧张了。
双语君对星座厘革倒是不伤风。
毕竟不休以来,双语君靠的不是星座,而是仙颜和才华。
