嘿，小朋友們，想知道月球上不是外星人飛船，而是一個很厲害的東西嗎？這是國際空間站（ISS）！它在月球前面飛過時，我們能看到它的樣子。ISS就像是一個太空家，它在離地球不遠的地方，轉著圈圈，每90分鐘就能繞地球一圈！一直以來，它每天都會轉16次，已經飛行了25年啦！ISS還拍過很多漂亮的星星，像金星、火星、土星，甚至是我們的太陽呢。來自世界各地的科研人員在ISS上進行了成千上萬的實驗。最早的實驗之一是培養蛋白質晶體，這對我們的新醫療治療超有幫助哦！在跟ISS的宇航員一起學習的同時，他們還會研究植物怎麼長得更好、水怎麼回收和人類健康等，這些都能支持阿爾忒彌斯任務，讓我們的宇航員可以飛得更遠呢！下次晚上出門的時候，別忘了抬頭找找，那個在天上飛快的ISS哦！
原文:
Nope, that is not an alien spaceship landing on the Moon! This is an image of the International Space Station (ISS) as it begins to transit in front of the Moon. The ISS is in low-Earth orbit (LEO) where it wizzes around the Earth every 90 minutes. Orbiting the Earth 16 times per day for 25 years, the ISS has photobombed many familiar celestial objects including Venus, Mars, Saturn, and the Sun. Thousands of experiments led by researchers from over one hundred countries have been conducted on the ISS. Growing protein crystals in low-gravity was one of the first experiments onboard the ISS and continues to contribute to new medical treatments. ISS astronauts study plant growth, water recycling, human health, and more to support the Artemis missions which will take humans farther than they’ve ever gone before. Next time you are out and about at night, try to spot the ISS zooming across the sky!
