凭借在世界杯中的神勇发挥，佛得角门将沃齐尼亚迅速找到了新工作。    CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA’s Psyche spacecraft rocketed away Friday on a six-year journey to a rare metal-covered asteroid.Most asteroids tend to be rocky or icy, and this is the first exploration of a metal world. Scientists believe it may be the battered remains of an early planet's core, and could shed light on the inaccessible centers of Earth and other rocky planets.SpaceX launched the spacecraft into an overcast midmorning sky from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Named for the asteroid it’s chasing, Psyche should reach the huge, potato-shaped object in 2029.“It's so thrilling,” said Laurie Leshin, director of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Added Arizona State University's Jim Bell, part of the Psyche team: “What a great ride so far.”An hour later, the spacecraft separated successfully from the rocket's upper stage and floated away, drawing applause from ground controllers.After decades of visiting faraway worlds of rock, ice and gas, NASA is psyched to pursue one coated in metal. Of the nine or so metal-rich asteroids discovered so far, Psyche is the biggest, orbiting the sun in the outer portion of the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter alongside millions of other space rocks. It was discovered in 1852 and named after Greek mythology’s captivating goddess of the soul.“It’s long been humans’ dream to go to the metal core of our Earth. I mean, ask Jules Verne,” lead scientist Lindy Elkins-Tanton of Arizona State University said ahead of the launch. “The pressure is too high. The temperature is too high. The technology is impossible,” she said. “But there’s one way in our solar system that we can look at a metal core and that is by going to this asteroid.”Astronomers know from radar and other observations that the asteroid is big — about 144 miles (232 kilometers) across at its widest and 173 miles (280 kilometers) long. They believe it’s brimming with iron, nickel and other metals, and quite possibly silicates, with a dull, predominantly gray surface likely covered with fine metal grains from cosmic impacts.Otherwise, it’s a speck of light in the night sky, full of mystery until the spacecraft reaches it after traveling more than 2 billion miles (3.6 billion kilometers).Scientists envision spiky metal craters, huge metal cliffs and metal-encrusted eroded lava flows greenish-yellow from sulfur — “almost certain to be completely wrong,” according to Elkins-Tanton. It's also possible that trace amounts of gold, silver, platinum or iridium — iron-loving elements — could be dissolved in the asteroid's iron and nickel, she said. “There's a very good chance that it’s going to be outside of our imaginings, and that is my fondest hope," she said.Believed to be a planetary building block from the solar system’s formation 4.5 billion years ago, the asteroid can help answer such fundamental questions as how did life arise on Earth and what makes our planet habitable, according to Elkins-Tanton.On Earth, the planet's iron core is responsible for the magnetic field that shields our atmosphere and enables life.Led by Arizona State University on NASA’s behalf, the $1.2 billion mission will use a roundabout route to get to the asteroid. The van-size spacecraft with solar panels big enough to fill a tennis court will swoop past Mars for a gravity boost in 2026. Three years later, it will reach the asteroid and attempt to go into orbit around it, circling as high as 440 miles (700 kilometers) and as close as 47 miles (75 kilometers) until at least 2031.The spacecraft relies on solar electric propulsion, using xenon gas-fed thrusters and their gentle blue-glowing pulses. An experimental communication system is also along for the ride, using lasers instead of radio waves in an attempt to expand the flow of data from deep space to Earth. NASA expects the test to yield more than 10 times the amount of data, enough to transmit videos from the moon or Mars one day.The spacecraft should have soared a year ago, but was held up by delays in flight software testing attributed to poor management and other issues. The revised schedule added extra travel time. So instead of arriving at the asteroid in 2026 as originally planned, the spacecraft won’t get there until 2029.That’s the same year that another NASA spacecraft — the one that just returned asteroid samples to the Utah desert — will arrive at a different space rock as it buzzes Earth.___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group.

二 | 北京时间7月27日，沃齐尼亚亮相纪念碑球场。

三 | 据悉，沃齐尼亚和科洛科洛签约18个月，月薪约2.5万-2.7万美元，是他此前在葡甲月薪（约9000美元）的三倍。

四 | 佛得角在世界杯上遭淘汰后，有多家俱乐部对沃齐尼亚表示出兴趣。沃齐尼亚在接受采访时曾表示：“我想至少再踢一两年，或者看看我的身体还能坚持多久，我们永远不知道明天会发生什么。”现年40岁的沃齐尼亚在6月与葡甲沙维斯竞技俱乐部的合同到期后成为自由身。

五 | 世界杯期间，他作为佛得角队主力门将表现出色，帮助队伍在小组赛中逼平西班牙和乌拉圭两支曾获世界冠军的球队。32强战中，佛得角队战至加时赛惜败于阿根廷队止步。沃齐尼亚还作为门将入选了国际足联22日公布的2026年美加墨世界杯“梦幻十一人”球迷票选最佳阵容。另据央视新闻，在刚刚落幕的美加墨世界杯上，首次跻身正赛的佛得角队成为最大黑马之一，沃西尼亚作为主力门将表现出色。

六 | 小组赛首战面对西班牙队，他全场完成7次关键扑救，力保球门不失，帮助球队0比0逼平强敌；1/16决赛对阵阿根廷，他再度贡献8次神奇扑救，将比赛拖入加时赛，最终2比3惜败。其实，沃西尼亚的足球之路，走得并不容易，25岁才拿到人生第一份职业合同。此后辗转于多国低级别联赛，长期担任替补，甚至一度面临无球可踢的境地。世界杯开赛前，他刚刚结束与葡甲沙维斯竞技的合同，成为自由球员。科洛科洛是智利历史上夺冠次数最多的俱乐部，曾获得34次联赛冠军，本赛季赛程过半，目前在积分榜上遥遥领先。
