A low light sensor enhances faint stars by combining multiple exposures.

微光传感器通过组合多次曝光来对暗淡的恒星进行增强处理。

This is why faint stars seem to disappear when you look directly at them.

这就是为什麽当我们直视 微弱的星光时，星星会消失不见。

Yeah, there's a new moon, so it's the perfect night to observe faint star clusters.

Of course, just seeing all those faint stars can be tough, which brings us to this week's “Focus On.”

当然，光是看那到些暗淡的星星就很困难，这就引出了我们本周的“聚焦知识点”。

Located between Scorpius and Virgo in the Southern night sky, the faint stars making up the constellation may be difficult to locate.

He leaned back against the tree-trunk and looked up through the dusky branches at the first faint stars glimmering in a quiet sky.

他靠在树干上，透过昏暗的树枝抬头望去，第一颗微弱的星星在宁静的天空中闪烁。

The advantage of this is that the distance to the cluster was pretty well known, so a faint star in it must be very low mass.

这样做的好处是，我们到星团的距离是众所周知的，所以其中一颗暗淡的恒星一定质量很低。

The woods were dark, but there was a gray light on the snowy path, and in the sky there were a few faint stars.

The faintest stars ever seen (using Hubble Space Telescope) are about magnitude 31 — the faintest star you can see with your eye is about 10 billion times brighter!

最暗的恒星（使用哈勃太空望远镜观测）大约是31级——你用眼睛能看到的最暗的恒星要比这亮大约100亿倍！

Those faint stars didn't emit enough light for his eyes to see them, but when he increased his collecting area with a telescope, they popped into visibility.

那些暗淡的星星发出的光不足以让他的眼睛看到它们，但当他用望远镜放大了光线收集面积时，它们就突然出现在了视野之中。

We're looking at some of the sort of faintest stars, earliest stars and earliest Galaxies in unprecedented detail and will also help us probe these planets outside of our solar system known as exoplanets.

我们正在观察一些极微弱的星星、最早的恒星和最早的星系从未被呈现的细节，这也将帮助我们探测这些太阳系外的行星，也被称为系外行星。
