13、f the Martian day, so scientists believed any traces of water, or fingerprints from hydrated minerals, would have evaporated.Also, the chemical-sensing instrument on the orbiting spacecraft cannot home in on details as small as the narrow streaks, which typically are less than 16 feet wide.But Ojha

14、and colleagues created a computer program that could scrutinizeindividual pixels. That data was then correlated with high-resolution images of the streaks. Scientists concentrated on the widest streaks and came up with a 100 percent match between their locations and detections of hydrated salts.Sect

22、奧基哈說： 美國國家航空航天局的公告有點(diǎn)言過其 實(shí)了.還有太多的謎團(tuán)尚待解開.不管水從哪里來,液態(tài)水前景如何,哪怕是季節(jié)性的,水的發(fā)現(xiàn)還是展現(xiàn)了 誘人的前景,即：火星可能為生命提供保證.但是,科學(xué)家們還需要獲得更多有 關(guān)水的化學(xué)信息后,才能對此進(jìn)行評估.美國國家航空航天局在軌的火星探測器好奇號已發(fā)現(xiàn)證據(jù),證實(shí)在過去的某個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn),火星曾具有適合微生物生命存在的所有物質(zhì)和適宜環(huán)境.漢譯英Passage 1In the final analysis, the population issue is an issue of development.
