在遙遠的宇宙中，有一個叫做Cat’s Paw Nebula（貓爪星雲）的神秘場所，觀起來像是貓咪的爪子。這個星雲位於Scorpius（天蠍座）方向，距離地球大約5700光年，裡面充滿了燃燒的氣體和塵埃，並且是大小像我們太陽十倍的星星誕生的地方。科學家們使用James Webb太空望遠鏡拍攝了一張貓爪星雲的紅外線圖片，讓我們看到了星雲的美麗細節，幫助我們了解星星是如何在多變的雲霧中誕生的。這真是一個令人驚奇的宇宙探索冒險！
原文:
Nebulas are perhaps as famous for being identified with familiar shapes as perhaps cats are for getting into trouble. Still, no known cat could have created the vast Cat’s Paw Nebula visible toward the constellation of the Scorpion (Scorpius). At 5,700 light years distant, Cat’s Paw is an emission nebula within a larger molecular cloud. Alternatively known as the Bear Claw Nebula and cataloged as NGC 6334, stars nearly ten times the mass of our Sun have been born there in only the past few million years. Pictured here is a recently released image of the Cat’s Paw taken in infrared light by the James Webb Space Telescope. This newly detailed view into the nebula helps provide insight for how turbulent molecular clouds turn gas into stars. Explore Your Universe: Random APOD Generator
