仙王座中的黑色海马

说明: 这片被称为海马星云的奇特星云,跨越数光年,在繁星点点和闪耀的氢气映衬下,呈现出迷人的轮廓。这片尘埃弥漫的暗星云位于北天的皇家星座-仙王座方向,是距离我们约1,200光年的银河系分子云的一部分。它也被列为巴纳德150号(B150),是天文学家E·E·巴纳德在20世纪初期编录的182个天空暗标记之一。低质量恒星群正在内部形成,但它们的塌缩核心仅在长红外波段下才能被观测到。尽管如此,仙王座中银河系深邃明亮的景象,依然为壮丽的银河景观增添了魅力。

英文原文:
Explanation: Spanning light-years, this suggestive shape known as the Seahorse Nebula floats in silhouette against a rich background of of stars and glowing hydrogen gas. Seen toward the royal northern constellation of Cepheus, the dusty, dark nebula is part of a Milky Way molecular cloud some 1,200 light-years distant. It is also listed as Barnard 150 (B150), one of 182 dark markings of the sky cataloged in the early 20th century by astronomer E. E. Barnard. Packs of low mass stars are forming within , but their collapsing cores are only visible at long infrared wavelengths. Still, the luminous depths of the Milky Way in Cepheus add to this stunning galactic skyscape.
