X射线线索显示行星已被摧毁
In about 5 billion years, our Sun will run out of fuel and expand, possibly engulfing Earth. These end stages of a star’s life can be utterly beautiful – as is the case with this planetary nebula called the Helix Nebula. Astronomers study these objects by looking at all kinds of light.
大约在50亿年后,我们的太阳将耗尽燃料并膨胀,有可能吞没地球。恒星生命末期的阶段虽然可能具有毁灭性,但却也异常壮丽——就如这张图中呈现的螺旋星云。天文学家通过观测各种波段的光来研究这些天体。
