M1: 不断扩张的蟹状星云

M1: 不断扩张的蟹状星云

The Crab Nebula, M1, is shown as imaged by the James Webb Space Telescope. The rollover image is the same Crab Nebula but this time from the Hubble Space Telescope. The Webb image is in near infrared light, while the Hubble image is in visible light. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.
这幅图像展示的是詹姆斯·韦布太空望远镜拍摄的蟹状星云(M1)。翻转图像显示的是同一个蟹状星云,但这次是由哈勃太空望远镜拍摄的。韦布图像是近红外光拍摄的,而哈勃图像则是可见光拍摄的。有关更多详细信息,请参阅说明。

NASA的韦伯望远镜揭示星际尘埃和气体的复杂层次

很久很久以前,一颗大质量恒星的内核发生坍塌,产生的冲击波向外喷发,将恒星撕成碎片。当冲击波到达恒星表面时,它穿透了恒星表面,产生了短暂而强烈的X射线和紫外线脉冲,向周围的太空传播。大约350年后,这个光脉冲到达了星际物质,照亮了星际物质,令其升温,并发出红外光。

A starfield is shown featuring many stars in the center and many pillars of interstellar dust around the edges pointing toward the center. The main image is in infrared light, and a rollover image from Hubble shows the same scene in visible light. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.
图中显示的星空中央有许多恒星,边缘周围有许多指向中心的星际尘埃柱。主图为红外光图像,哈勃望远镜的翻转图像显示了可见光下的同一场景。有关更多详细信息,请参阅说明。
