宇航员分享了令人心碎的澳大利亚丛林烟雾照片

NASA astronaut Christina Koch shared a short but powerful message from space on Tuesday: "Australia. Our hearts and thoughts are with you."

周二，美国国家航空航天局宇航员克里斯蒂娜·科赫分享了一则来自太空的简短而有力的信息:“澳大利亚。我们的心与你同在。”

Koch, who is living on the International Space Station, posted several photos of the smoke from Australia's fires, as seen from her vantage point 250 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth.

居住在国际空间站的科赫发布了几张澳大利亚大火冒烟的照片，这些照片都是她在距地球250英里(400公里)的高空拍摄的。

About 70 percent of Australia's 3 million square miles of land is covered by a layer of grey-and-brown smoke. According to NASA, the smoke had already travelled halfway around the planet by January 8, "turning the skies hazy and causing colourful sunrises and sunsets" in South America.

在澳大利亚300万平方英里的土地上，大约70%被一层灰褐色的烟雾所覆盖。据美国国家航空航天局称，到1月8日，烟雾已经环绕了半个地球，“使天空变得朦胧，并在南美造成了多彩的日出和日落”。

The agency expects the smoke to make a full circuit of the globe and return to Australia.

该机构预计烟雾将环绕地球一周，然后返回澳大利亚。

As of last week, the wildfires – some of the worst in Australia's history – had burned 25 million acres, claimed the lives of 27 people, and destroyed 2,000 homes. A billion animals are feared dead.

截至上周，这场澳大利亚历史上最严重的火灾已经烧毁了2500万英亩土地，夺去了27人的生命，摧毁了2000座房屋，十亿只动物恐怕都死了。
