NASA的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜新图像获得了天王星另一个环形世界

这张由韦伯的近红外相机(NIRCam)于2023年2月6日拍摄的天王星的放大图像显示了该行星光环的壮丽景色。这颗行星在这张代表性的彩色图像中呈现为蓝色色调,这张图像是由1.4微米(显示为蓝色)和3.0微米(显示为橙色)的两个滤波器(F140M、F300M)的数据组合而成。 影像来源:NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI. 影像处理:J. DePasquale (STScI) 继2022年发布的海王星图像之后,NASA的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜拍摄了太阳系另一颗冰巨星天王星的惊人图像。这张新照片展现了引人注目的天王星环以及行星大气层中明亮的特征。韦伯的数据表明,该天文台对最微弱的尘埃环具有前所未有的灵敏度,只有其他两个设施对这些尘埃环进行过成像:1986年旅行者2号飞船飞掠该行星时的成像,以及具有先进自适应光...

哈勃太空望远镜观测到一个闪烁的星团

The densely packed globular cluster NGC 6325 glistens in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This concentrated group of stars lies around 26,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Ophiuchus. Globular clusters like NGC 6325 are tightly bound collections of stars with anywhere from tens of thousands to millions of members. They can be...

哈勃太空望远镜拍摄到异常明亮的相互作用星系

This new image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope shows interacting galaxies known as AM 1214-255. These galaxies contain active galactic nuclei, or AGNs. An AGN is an extraordinarily luminous central region of a galaxy. Its extreme brightness is caused by matter whirling into a supermassive black hole at the galaxy’s heart. Hubble observed the galaxy closes...
