【昨日回顾】

They were, by far, the largest and most distant objects that scientists had ever detected: a strip of enormous cosmic clouds some 15 billion light-years from earth.

迄今为止，科学家所发现的最大、最遥远的物体是：离地球大约150亿光年的一块狭长的巨大宇宙云系。

【今日长难句】

But even more important, it was the farthest that scientists had been able to look into the past, for what they were seeing were the patterns and structures that existed 15 billion years ago.

【结构解析】

1. but even more important 为句子的状语成分

2. 句子主干为主系表结构，即：it /was /the farthest；其中it 指代上文中的a strip of enormous cosmic clouds

3. that 引导定语从句修饰 the farthest

4. for +从句，表原因。从句主干为主系表结构：what they were seeing/ were / the patterns and structures; that existed 15 billion years ago. 为定语从句修饰the patterns and structures.

【词的处理】

look into 调查，观察

pattern / ˈpætn / n. 模式

【参考译文】

But even more important, it was the farthest that scientists had been able to look into the past, for what they were seeing were the patterns and structures that existed 15 billion years ago.

更为重要的是，这是科学家们能够观测到的最遥远的过去的景象，因为他们看到的是150亿年前宇宙云的形状和结构。

【明日长难句】

That was just about the moment that the universe was born. What the researchers found was at once both amazing and expected: the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Cosmic Background Explorer satellite—Cobe—had discovered landmark evidence that the universe did in fact begin with the primeval explosion that has become known as the Big Bang (the theory that the universe originated in an explosion from a single mass of energy).
