NGC 2170: The Angel Nebula

這是一幅畫,還是一張照片?在這幅由宇宙之筆繪就的天體抽象畫中,塵埃瀰漫的星雲NGC 2170 (又稱天使星雲)正位於影像中心上方,熠熠生輝。NGC 2170 反射著附近高溫恆星的光芒,周圍環繞著其他藍色的反射星雲、一片紅色的發射區、許多暗色的吸收星雲,以及背景中色彩斑斕的恆星。 正如抽象畫家常選作題材的日常物品,畫中呈現的氣體、塵埃和熾熱恆星雲,在這樣的環境中也隨處可見——這裡是獨角獸座(Monoceros)中一個巨大的恆星形成分子云。 這片名為Mon R 2 的巨型分子云距離我們相當近,據估算僅約 2400 光年。以該距離計算,這幅“畫布”的橫跨範圍將超過 60 光年。 近乎超空間:隨機APOD 生成器
原文:Is this a painting or a photograph? In this celestial abstract art composed with a cosmic brush, dusty nebula NGC 2170, also known as the Angel Nebula, shines just above the image center. Reflecting the light of nearby hot stars, NGC 2170 is joined by other bluish reflection nebulae, a red emission region, many dark absorption nebulae, and a backdrop of colorful stars. Like the common household items that abstract painters often choose for their subjects, the clouds of gas, dust, and hot stars featured here are also commonly found in a setting like this one -- a massive, star-forming molecular cloud in the constellation of the Unicorn (Monoceros). The giant molecular cloud Mon R2, is impressively close, estimated to be only 2,400 light-years or so away. At that distance, this canvas would be over 60 light-years across.
