摘　　要：一颗小行星将撞击地球如果一切按计划进行,科学家们将用一颗小行星的一部分撞击地球。这并没有听起来那么骇人,因为这块岩石最多只有几百克重。它将被装在一个小太空舱里,连同降落伞一起抵达犹他州沙漠,缓缓飘至地面。这块岩石来自一颗名为“贝努”的小行星,2018年,美国OSIRIS-REx探测器曾造访过这颗小行星。探测器将在前往另一颗小行星阿波菲斯的途中投放货物,预计将于2029年抵达。天文学家对小行星很感兴趣。太阳系大约形成于45亿年前,当时一团尘埃和气体云在自身引力的作用下坍缩成一个圆盘,然后又聚集成太阳及其行星。1 An asteroid will hit Earth If all goes according to plan,scientists will hit Earth with part of an asteroid.That is less alarming than it sounds,for the chunk of rock in question weighs at most a few hundred grams.It will arrive in a small capsule[太空舱],complete with parachute,that will drift gently to the ground in the Utah desert.The rock is from an asteroid named Bennu,which was visited in 2018 by an American spacecraft called OSIRIS-REx.The probe will drop its cargo off enroute to another asteroid,Apophis,at which it is due to arrive in 2029.Astronomers take a great interest in asteroids.
