NASA 오늘의 사진(2023-12-14)

안녕하세요, 프리덤 알제이입니다. 

오늘은 NASA에서 어떤 우주의 모습을 보여주는지 궁금합니다.

이 사진의 제목은 Supernova Remnant 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 only a few million years for the most massive stars, 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 supernova explosion that created this remnant would have been first seen in planet Earth's sky about 350 years ago, although it took that light 11,000 years to reach us. This sharp NIRCam image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows the still hot filaments and knots in the supernova remnant. The whitish, smoke-like outer shell of the expanding blast wave is about 20 light-years across, while the bright speck near center is a neutron star, the incredibly dense, collapsed remains of the massive stellar core. Light echoes from the massive star's cataclysmic explosion are also identified in Webb's detailed image of supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. Tonight watch: The Geminids;

 

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.
