flyby 飞掠

Pluto shows a "heart" in a most detailed photo yet returned by NASA's approaching New Horizons probe, which has now begun its final run for its historic flyby of Pluto.

美国宇航局发射的“新视野”号探测器即将传回的一张冥王星清晰照片上竟有一块心形的图案，“新视野”号当时正在最后一次历史性飞掠冥王星。

In the early morning hours on Wednesday, mission scientists received the clearest image of the reddish-brownish dwarf planet by the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) aboard New Horizons, NASA said in a statement.

 美国宇航局在一份声明中表示，15日凌晨时分，该行动的科学家收到了“新视野”号上的远距离勘测成像仪拍摄到的最为清晰的一张冥王星的照片。

Flyby指航天器的近天体探测飞行（a flight made by a spacecraft over a particular place in order to record details about it），通常称为“飞掠”。
