This brief paper introduces and reviews the 'visions of the future' articles prepared by leading young scientists throughout the world for the first of two Christmas 2008 Triennial issues of Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A, devoted, respectively, to astronomy and Earth science. Contributions in astronomy include the very topical gamma-ray bursts, new ideas on stellar collapse and the unusual atmospheres of synchronized planets orbiting nearby stars.
这篇短文介绍并回顾了世界各地杰出青年科学家为《英国皇家学会哲学汇刊 A 辑》2008 年圣诞特刊第一期撰写的“未来展望”文章，该特刊分两期出版，一期专注于天文学，另一期专注于地球科学。天文学方面的文章涉及热门的伽马射线暴、恒星塌缩的新观点以及附近恒星轨道同步行星的不寻常大气。
