NASA 오늘의 사진(2023-06-01)

안녕하세요, 프리덤 알제이입니다. 

오늘은 NASA에서 어떤 우주의 모습을 보여주는지 궁금합니다.

이 사진의 제목은 Recycling Cassiopeia A 입니다. 

NASA에서의 공식적으로 제공한 설명을 보시죠.

 

<Massive stars in our Milky Way Galaxy live spectacular lives. Collapsing from vast cosmic clouds, their nuclear furnaces ignite and create heavy elements in their cores. After a few million years, the enriched material is blasted back into interstellar space where star formation can begin anew. The expanding debris cloud known as Cassiopeia A is an example of this final phase of the stellar life cycle. Light from the explosion which created this supernova remnant would have been first seen in planet Earth's sky about 350 years ago, although it took that light about 11,000 years to reach us. This false-color image, composed of X-ray and optical image data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope, shows the still hot filaments and knots in the remnant. It spans about 30 light-years at the estimated distance of Cassiopeia A. High-energy X-ray emission from specific elements has been color coded, silicon in red, sulfur in yellow, calcium in green and iron in purple, to help astronomers explore the recycling of our galaxy's star stuff. Still expanding, the outer blast wave is seen in blue hues. The bright speck near the center is a neutron star, the incredibly dense, collapsed remains of the massive stellar core.;

 

오늘도 흥미로운 우주, 광할한 우주영상을 보며, 그 우주에 살고있는 저희가 위대해 보입니다.

오늘도 즐거운 하루 되시고, 우주 영상/사진은 꾸준히 업로드 되니 꼭 또 구경오세요.
