1·But that their minds are not different from our own is demonstrated by the fact that the hard-won discoveries of scientists like Kepler or Einstein become the commonplace knowledge of schoolchildren.
但是，他们的头脑与我们的头脑并没有什么不同，这一点已被一个事实所证明，即像开普勒或爱因斯坦这样的科学家们的来之不易的发现，已成为小学生们的常识。
2·Copernicus and Kepler built on the observations of Tycho Brahe and found that we were not the center of the universe; other planets revolved around the sun, and so do we.
哥白尼和开普勒在第谷的观察数据基础上发现，我们并不是这个宇宙的中心，其它行星围绕着太阳旋转，我们的地球也是如此。
3·Just this March, however, NASA launched the Kepler satellite to search for Earth-like planets.
不过，就在这个三月，NASA启动了开普勒卫星去搜寻类似地球的行星。
4·The Kepler team had to wait for three passes of the planet before upping its status from "candidate" to "confirmed".
要让这颗行星的状态从“候选”到“证实”，“开普勒”小组必须确认三次“行星凌日”的过程。
5·The amount of starlight grows until the planet, becoming invisible to Kepler, passes fully in back of its star.
反射的恒星光线会增加，直到这颗行星运行到恒星的正后方，让开普勒观察不到它。
