The Cone Nebula is an intense region of starbirth, a chaotic place where new stars are born inside a natal cloud and recently born, hot and massive stars buffet the nursery with intense radiation. The nebula of gas and dust, lit by surrounding stars, is about 2,500 light-years away This image was m…
Credit: ESA, NASA, Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer Team (LPL) Methane rain, evaporating lakes, flowing rivers, and water ice-volcanoes all likely exist on Saturn's moon Titan, according to preliminary analyses of recent images taken by the successful Huygen's lander. A snaking and branching riv…
A satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is a wonder of the southern sky, a mere 210,000 light-years distant in the constellation Tucana. Found among the SMC's clusters and nebulae NGC 346 is a star forming region about 200 light-years across, pictured above by the Hubbl…
This color view from Titan gazes across a suddenly familiar but distant landscape on Saturn's largest moon. The scene was recorded by ESA's Huygens probe after a 2 1/2 hour descent through a thick atmosphere of nitrogen laced with methane. Bathed in an eerie orange light at ground level, rocks strew…
Old photographs show no evidence of the above nebula. In 1992, a white dwarf star toward the constellation of Cygnus blew off its outer layers in a classical nova explosion: an event called Nova Cygni 1992. Light flooded the local interstellar neighborhood, illuminated this existing gas cloud, excit…
Big, beautiful barred spiral galaxy NGC 1300 lies some 70 million light-years away on the banks of the constellation Eridanus. This Hubble Space Telescope composite view of the gorgeous island universe was released at this week's meeting of the American Astronomical Society as one of the largest Hub…

What creates the cosmic dust sculptures in the Rosette Nebula? Noted for the common beauty of its overall shape, parts of the Rosette Nebula, also known as NGC 2244, show beauty even when viewed up close. Visible above are globules of dark dust and gas that are slowly being eroded away by the energe…
http이://quarksea.cafe24.com/Hubble/2003/2003-16-a-large_web 공식이름은 NGC 2736이랍니다. 사진에서도 길쭉한 모양의 성운이 보이는데 사실 이것은 초신성의 충격파가 진한 가스구름에 부딪혀서 만들어진 것이랍니다. 이 초신성은 약 11000년 전에 폭발한 것으로 여겨지고 있구요, 지금은 아주 조그마한 중성자별로 남아있답니다.(물론 보이지는 않겠죠) 폭발할 당시에는 태양, 달 다음으로 밝게 보이는 금성보다 무려 250배나 밝았다고 하네요(금성은 눈 좋은 사람은 가끔 낮에도 볼 수 있다는…
