超凡脱俗的风景(A view that’s out of this world)

1961年4月12日，宇航员尤里·加加林成为第一个前往外太空的人，震惊了世界。在不到两个小时的时间里，加加林发射了沃斯托克3KA飞船，完成了绕地球的完整轨道飞行。不到一个月后，水星号宇航员艾伦·谢泼德成为第一位进入太空的美国人。正如你在国际空间站拍摄的这张照片中看到的那样，从太空回望地球的奇观并没有失去它的魅力。好吧，我们的地球母亲是一个奇观，不仅对我们这些每天在地球上行走的人来说，对那些有幸从遥远的星系观看地球母亲的人来说也是如此！

On April 12, 1961, astronaut Yuri Gagarin astounded the world by becoming the first person to travel to outer space. In less than two hours, Gagarin completed a full orbit of the Earth after launching the Vostok 3KA spacecraft. Less than a month later, Mercury astronaut Alan Shepard became the first American in space. The spectacle of looking back at Earth from space has not lost its charm, as you can see in this picture taken from the International Space Station. Well, our Mother Earth is a spectacle to behold, not only for those of us walking its grounds every day, but also for the ones who are lucky enough to look at it from a galaxy far, far away!
