去不了外太空，還能拍出置身於太空美景的自拍照？這不是夢，而是美國宇航局新推出的太空自拍APP，讓普通人也能過一把宇航員的癮。
Let's face it. Most of us are never going to go to space. And none of us are going to visit the Orion Nebula. But we can dream - and now thanks to NASA, we can selfie our way into some of the most spectacular scenery in the Milky Way.
面對現實吧。我們大多數人永遠不可能去太空，也不可能去獵戶座星雲一遊。但我們可以做去太空的夢——如今，拜美國宇航局所賜，我們可以通過自拍，置身於銀河最壯觀的一些景色中。
To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the launch of the Spitzer Space Telescope, NASA has released a delightful NASA Selfies app for iOS and Android phones.
為了慶祝斯皮策太空望遠鏡發射15週年，美國宇航局發佈了一款好玩的太空自拍APP，適用於蘋果和安卓手機。
It's very simple. You snap a pic of your face (or someone else's face) centred in the frame, using the front or rear camera, and it's inserted into the helmet of an astronaut suit.
這款APP操作起來十分簡單。你只需用手機的前置或後置攝像頭拍一張自己或他人的大頭照，然後你的頭像就會被嵌入航天服的頭盔當中。
You can then choose a background of some of the many space wonders imaged by Spitzer over the last 15 years, and save it to your phone.
斯皮策太空望遠鏡在過去15年間拍攝了眾多太空奇觀，你可以從若干張太空奇觀圖片中選一張作為背景，然後保存到自己的手機裡。
You can't upload previous photos from your photo gallery, and there's no share button, so you'll have to share your photos to the #NASASelfie hashtag the good old-fashioned way - by going to your camera roll and sharing from there.
你不能從自己的圖片庫中上傳先前的照片，而且沒有分享按鈕，所以你必須用傳統方法將照片#美國宇航局自拍這個話題標籤下，也就是從手機相冊中選取照片分享。
Also, just a heads up, it only orients correctly in landscape, so if you take a photo holding your phone in portrait orientation, you're going to end up looking like a severed head floating in a spacesuit.
另外，再提醒一句，你的頭像照片只有在風光模式下拍攝才能準確嵌入航天服，所以如果你是在人像模式下拍攝，你的頭像可能會“浮”在航天服上。
現在就可以免費下載應用NASA Selfies，成為一名“宇航員”：
