Launched in 2009, Kepler watched more than 100,000 stars, looking for tiny dips in a star's brightness caused by orbiting planets when they pass in front of their sun.

The other is a white dwarf—a small, dim star a little larger than Earth, but so dense that a spoonful weighs tons.
另一颗是白矮星—一种小型，昏暗，比地球稍大点的恒星，但密度极高，一汤匙的物质就有几吨重dFCaC+o4mHF1~WR。
Because of its high mass, when the white dwarf passes in front of its mate its gravity bends and amplifies the larger star's light, just as Einstein said.
由于其高密度，当这颗白矮星运动到它同伴的前面时，自身重力发生弯曲并使得较大的那颗恒星发出的光线被增强，就如同爱因斯坦曾经描述的那样e;5!8!h,C.!(lVf。
In other words, the white dwarf acts like a lens that makes the bigger star appear brighter during the eclipse.
换句话说，白矮星充当了透射镜片的作用，使得在日月食现象时较大的恒星候变得更加明亮S70qTr~0blxY)tc!b。
