在廣闊的星際空間中,有一個非常特殊的星雲叫做NGC 6072。這個星雲是由一顆像太陽一樣的星星所形成的,而且它的形狀和顏色都非常複雜和美麗!最近,韋伯太空望遠鏡拍到了這個星雲的清晰圖片,讓我們看到了許多以前看不到的細節。在這幅圖片中,紅色代表著涼爽的氫氣,這些氣體就像星雲的衣服,包裹著這個神秘的地方。科學家們發現了星雲中可能有好幾個氣體的流出和兩個圓盤的存在,這讓NGC 6072更加特別。有趣的是,科學家猜想,這些複雜的形狀是因為星雲內部的恆星系統發生了幾次大爆炸,這樣的活動讓這個星雲變得更加神秘和迷人!
原文:
Why is this nebula so complex? The Webb Space Telescope has imaged a nebula in great detail that is thought to have emerged from a Sun-like star. NGC 6072 has been resolved into one of the more unusual and complex examples of planetary nebula. The featured image is in infrared light with the red color highlighting cool hydrogen gas. Study of previous images of NGC 6072 indicated several likely outflows and two disks inside the jumbled gas, while the new Webb image resolves new features likely including one disk’s edge protruding on the central left. A leading origin hypothesis holds that the nebula’s complexity is caused or enhanced by multiple outbursts from a star in a multi-star system near the center.
