NASA released James Webb Space Telescope's first full-color images of the universe and their spectroscopic data on Tuesday, revealing the unprecedented and detailed views of the universe.

12日，美国航天局公布首批詹姆斯·韦布空间望远镜拍摄的全彩宇宙图像及光谱图，揭示了前所未有的详细宇宙视图。

The images released by NASA include detailed spectrum of an exoplanet atmosphere; Southern Ring Nebula, an expanding cloud of gas that surrounds a dying star which is approximately 2,000 light years away; Stephan's Quintet, a compact group of galaxies located in the constellation Pegasus; Carina Nebula, the earliest, rapid phases of star formation that were previously hidden.

这些图像包括：银河系中的一颗系外行星的光谱图；距地球约2000光年的南环星云，图像展示了这一围绕着一颗垂死恒星的行星状星云的全貌；位于飞马座的斯蒂芬五重星系；船底座星云，图像呈现了其最早期、快速形成的阶段。

Webb's first observations tell the story of the hidden universe through every phase of cosmic history - from neighboring exoplanets to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe, said NASA.

美国航天局公报表示，韦布空间望远镜观测到的首批图像通过展示宇宙历史的各阶段讲述了未知宇宙的故事，既有系外行星，也有早期宇宙中最遥远的可观测星系。

The release of Webb's first images and spectra kicks off the beginning of Webb's science operations, where astronomers around the world will have their chance to observe anything from objects within the solar system to the early universe using Webb's four instruments, according to NASA.

公报称，韦布空间望远镜首批图像和光谱图的发布标志着其科学任务的开端，世界各地的天文学家将有机会使用韦布空间望远镜的四套科学仪器来观测太阳系中的天体及早期宇宙中的天体。

Webb is NASA's largest and most powerful space science telescope ever constructed. With a 6.5-meter primary mirror, the large infrared telescope will study every phase of cosmic history, from within the solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe, according to NASA. 

韦布是美国航天局有史以来建造的最大、最强的空间科学望远镜。据美国航天局称，这台大型红外望远镜拥有一个6.5米的主镜。从太阳系内部到早期宇宙中最遥远的可观测星系，韦布将用于宇宙历史的每个阶段的研究。

推特起诉马斯克

Twitter sues Elon Musk

The battle between Twitter and Elon Musk is going to the courts.

推特和埃隆•马斯克之间的纷争将诉诸法律。

Twitter filed a lawsuit against Musk on Tuesday (July 12) in the Delaware Court of Chancery, seeking to hold the SpaceX and Tesla chief to his agreement to buy the social media company for $44 billion. Musk announced that agreement in April but last week filed paperwork to pull out of it.

7 月 12 日，社交媒体公司推特在特拉华州衡平法院对SpaceX及特斯拉首席执行官马斯克提起诉讼，要求其完成以440亿美元收购推特的协议。马斯克4月宣布了该协议，却在上周退出收购交易。

"Musk refuses to honor his obligations to Twitter and its stockholders because the deal he signed no longer serves his personal interests," Twitter's lawsuit reads. "Musk apparently believes that he — unlike every other party subject to Delaware contract law — is free to change his mind, trash the company, disrupt its operations, destroy stockholder value and walk away."

推特在提起的诉讼中称，“马斯克以其签署的交易不再符合其个人利益为由，拒绝履行对推特及其股东的义务”，“马斯克显然觉得自己可以随意改变主意、破坏（推特）公司、扰乱运营、破坏股东价值后直接走人，不受特拉华州合约法令对各方的约束”。

Elon Musk has a different view of the matter, of course. Not long after announcing the planned acquisition, he said he would go through with it only if Twitter could show to his satisfaction that bots — fake or spam accounts — make up less than 5% of the platform's users.

当然，马斯克于此事有不同说法。在宣布收购计划后不久，他表示只有在推特能够向他证明机器人账号（虚假或垃圾账户）占该平台用户的比例低于5%的情况下，他才会接受协议。
