Abstract

When the Voyager 1 spacecraft was hurtling past Neptune to points beyond, its camera swung back to snap an image of Earth, a tiny spot of light in the vast, dark expanse. That 1990 image offered a stark reminder of just how vulnerable our planet is. The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) remains focused on space exploration today, but is also providing an Earth-side role, notably in understanding climate change and how it affects human health, and in inspiring new research and products to help people cope with varying weather patterns and the threats they bring.

美国国家航空航天局应对气候变化：将技术从太空聚焦到地球。

当旅行者 1 号宇宙飞船飞越海王星飞向更远的地方时，它的照相机向后摆动，捕捉到了地球的图像，那是广袤、黑暗的大地上的一个小光点。1990 年的这幅图像鲜明地提醒人们，我们的星球是多么脆弱。今天，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）仍然专注于太空探索，但也在地球方面发挥着作用，特别是在了解气候变化及其对人类健康的影响方面，以及在激发新的研究和产品以帮助人们应对不同的天气模式及其带来的威胁方面。
