幽灵星云的尘埃形态

说明: 在这片由恒星和尘埃交织的星际场域中，有没有任何形状让你感到惊奇呢？这片璀璨的星空，充满了微弱的星光反射云，漂浮在皇家星座仙王座的夜空中。远离你在地球上的家园，这些幽灵般的幻影潜伏在银河系的平面上，位于距离约1,200光年的仙王座闪焰分子云复合体的边缘。横跨超过两光年，比其他诡异的奇美拉（希腊神话中会喷火的怪物）更为明亮，VdB 141或Sh2-136也被称为幽灵星云，可见于主题影像的中央。在反射星云中，可以看到恒星形成早期阶段致密核心坍缩的明显迹象。

英文原文:
Explanation: Do any shapes seem to jump out at you from this interstellar field of stars and dust? The jeweled expanse, filled with faint, starlight-reflecting clouds, drifts through the night in the royal constellation of Cepheus . Far from your own neighborhood on planet Earth , these ghostly apparition s lurk along the plane of the Milky Way at the edge of the Cepheus Flare molecular cloud complex some 1,200 light-years away. Over two light-year s across and brighter than the other spooky chimera s, VdB 141 or Sh2-136 is also known as the Ghost Nebula , seen across the middle of the featured image . Within the reflection nebula are the telltale signs of dense cores collapsing in the early stages of star formation.
