    We’re pleased to announce that Radio Galaxy Zoo has been translated to traditional character Chinese. Many thanks to the Zooniverse’s Chris Snyder for getting all the technical things set up for the translation to go live and Mei-Yin Chou at Academia Sinica’s Institute of Astronomy & Astrophysics (ASIAA) for helping verifying the translation. What follows is an announcement describing Radio Galaxy Zoo and the translation in traditional character Chinese and then in English:

    電 波星系動物園[中 文版]歡 迎你的加入!在此我們欣然宣佈本計畫中文版開始啟用。感謝中央研究院天文及天文物理研究所Dr. Meg Schwamb (Meg是 參與Planet Hunters 和Planet Four計 畫的科學家)以 及天文推廣團隊成員黃珞文協助,將英文內容翻譯轉換為繁體中文。
    在 許多星系核心深處其實隱匿著一些超大質量的黑洞,其質量往往為太陽的幾億倍,這些大黑洞雖然無法直接看得到,不過有 時仍可看得到從星系核心噴出的巨大噴流。由 電波波段看到的天空和在「可見光」波段所看到的(可見的意思就是人類肉眼所看得到的),此兩種景象有時大異其 趣。譬如,有些星系中心根本沒有電波輻射發出,但卻會向外噴發電波噴流,或有時這些噴流的外觀是筆直的直線,有時卻 是一團、只有單邊而非雙邊對稱、甚或是彎曲弧線等。藉由大型全天電波普查觀測計畫,我們取得了各式各樣多達幾十萬個 電波噴流和團塊影像,它們需要和所屬的宿主星系做成匹配。因 此,我們邀請你加入我們的行列,來認識一個「從未曾見過」的宇宙,也借用您眼所見的,協助辨識電波波段之噴流(或細絲),再將它 們和紅外圖像進行比較及匹 配,這麼一來,在你的協助下,噴流和宿主星系間本來付之闕如的關聯 性,未來將可建立成形。

    Welcome to Radio Galaxy Zoo (Chinese)! It is with great pleasure that we announce the launch of the Chinese version of our project. We are very grateful to Dr Meg Schwamb (from Planet Hunters and Planet Four) and Lauren Huang from Academia Sinica’s Institute of Astronomy & Astrophysics (ASIAA) for their help with translating our project from English to traditional Chinese characters.

    Supermassive black holes (~several hundred million times the mass of our Sun) lie deep in the cores of many galaxies. And though we cannot directly see these black holes, we do sometimes see the huge radio jets originating from the galaxy cores.

    Galaxies in the radio sky can look quite different from the one seen in the optical wavelengths by instruments such as our own eyes. Some galaxies do not have any central radio emission but only radio jet(s) emanating outwards. Sometimes these jets are straight but at other times, they can be blobby, one-sided or bent. With very large all-sky radio surveys,we have many hundreds of thousands of radio jets and blobs that need to be matched to their host galaxies.

    Therefore we invite you to see the Universe as you have never seen before and help us map the radio sky by matching the radio jets and filaments to the galaxies (as seen in the infrared images) from whence they came.
