你有沒有想過宇宙中還有哪些神奇的東西呢？在星空裡，有一個叫做Red Spider Planetary Nebula的地方，它看起來像是一隻美麗的紅蜘蛛，在星際空間中舞動著！這個星雲又叫做NGC 6537，是由一顆普通的星星拋棄掉外層的氣體後形成的，然後變成了一顆白矮星。Red Spider星雲擁有一顆非常熱的白矮星，這顆星星可能還和另一顆星星是好朋友，它們一起在太空中旅行！從這顆星星吹出的風速非常快，超過每小時1,000公里。這些風把星雲推得越來越大，像是在玩捉迷藏，讓氣體和塵埃互相碰撞，發出五顏六色的光。這些光是由詹姆斯·韋伯太空望遠鏡拍到的，讓我們能看到這些美麗的景象。Red Spider星雲在射手座這個星座裡，距離我們約有4,000光年遠，雖然距離有點遠，但它的美麗仍然能讓我們驚嘆不已！
原文:
Oh what a tangled web a planetary nebula can weave. The Red Spider Planetary Nebula shows the complex structure that can result when a normal star ejects its outer gases and becomes a white dwarf star. Officially tagged NGC 6537, this two-lobed symmetric planetary nebula houses one of the hottest white dwarfs ever observed, probably as part of a binary star system. Internal winds flowing out from the central stars, have been measured in excess of 1,000 kilometers per second. These winds expand the nebula, flow along the nebula’s walls, and cause waves of hot gas and dust to collide. Atoms caught in these colliding shocks radiate light shown in the featured false-color infrared picture by the James Webb Space Telescope. The Red Spider Nebula lies toward the constellation of the Archer (Sagittarius). Its distance is not well known but has been estimated by some to be about 4,000 light-years.
