This is precisely where Koyama's contributions would be so valuable.

正因为此，小山的贡献才显得如此珍贵。

But using Koyama's record, they could precisely follow specific sunspots and clusters through that journey.

但利用小山的记录，在这一过程中，研究人员可以准确跟踪特定的黑子或黑子群。

Dragging a futon over her head for protection, Koyama would gaze at the night sky, tracking all sorts of astronomical phenomena.

她拉了条床褥子盖在头顶，躲在遮挡保护下，小山凝望夜空，持续追踪各种天文现象。

To understand exactly what Koyama saw on the sun's surface, we first need to understand what's happening inside the star.

要理解小山从太阳表面观察到的到底是什么，我们首先需要了解在这颗恒星内部发生了什么。

But while Koyama didn't know it, these drawings were the start of one of the most important records of solar activity in human history.

当时小山并不知道，这些手绘文档标志着人类历史上记录太阳活动观测的开端，且是最重要的文件之一。

By angling her telescope towards the sun, Koyama could project the star's light onto a sheet of paper, allowing her to sketch the sun's shifting surface.

通过将望远镜以某种角度对着太阳，小山可以将阳光投射到一张纸上，从而能够用手绘制出太阳不断变化的表面。

Ken Koyama was on a government panel recommending the restart, even he admits nuclear reactors will never be fully safe in a nation prone to natural disasters.

曾在一个建议重启工作政府专门小组工作的肯·小山承认核反应堆在这样一个充满自然灾害隐患的国家将永远不会绝对安全。

Koyama soon joined the museum's staff as a professional observer, and over the next 40 years, she worked on a daily basis, producing over 10,000 drawings of the sun's surface.

很快小山以职业观测者的身份成为了博物馆的一员，并在接下来的 40 多年里，她每天都在博物馆工作，绘制了超过 1 万幅太阳表面的手稿。

This project extends Koyama's legacy far beyond her own lifetime, and proves that science is not built solely on astounding discoveries, but also on careful observation of the world around us.

这个项目将小山的遗产远远超出了她自己的一生，并证明了科学不仅建立在惊人的发现之上，还建立在对我们周围世界的仔细观察之上。
