Summary
DescriptionMilky Way IR Spitzer.jpg |
العربية: هذه الصورة بالأشعة تحت الحمراء من تلسكوب ناسا تظهر مئات الآلاف من النجوم منضغطة في قلب مجرتنا درب التبانة. في الصور بالضوء المرئي، هذه المنطقة لا يمكن رؤيتها على الإطلاق لأن الغبار بين الأرض ومركز المجرة يحجب الرؤية.
English: "This dazzling infrared image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows hundreds of thousands of stars crowded into the swirling core of our spiral Milky Way galaxy. In visible-light pictures, this region cannot be seen at all because dust lying between Earth and the galactic center blocks our view."
Image downscaled (2x) from original. English: The center of our Milky Way galaxy is hidden from the prying eyes of optical telescopes by clouds of obscuring dust and gas. But in this stunning vista, the Spitzer Space Telescope's infrared cameras penetrate much of the dust, revealing the stars of the crowded galactic center region. The upcoming James Webb Space Telescope will offer a much-improved infrared view, teasing out fainter stars and sharper details.
The center of our galaxy is a crowded place: A black hole weighing 4 million times as much as our Sun is surrounded by millions of stars whipping around it at breakneck speeds. This extreme environment is bathed in intense ultraviolet light and X-ray radiation. Yet much of this activity is hidden from our view, obscured by vast swaths of interstellar dust. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is designed to view the universe in infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye, but is very important for looking at astronomical objects hidden by dust. After its launch, Webb will gather infrared light that has penetrated the dusty veil, revealing the galactic center in unprecedented detail.Français : Cœur de la voie lactée vu en infra-rouge par le téléscope spatial Spitzer de la NASA. Dans cette zone des centaines de milliers d'étoiles gravitent autour du centre galactique. En lumière visible, cette région n'est pas visible car elle est cachée par une grande quantité de poussière interstellaire.
Polski: Zdjęcie wykonane w podczerwieni przez należący do NASA Kosmiczny Teleskop Spitzera ukazuje setki tysięcy gwiazd zgromadzonych wokół centralnych rejonów Naszej Galaktyki. Ten region jest niewidoczny w zakresie światła widzialnego, gdyż jest przysłaniany przez obłoki pyłu usytuowane pomiędzy Ziemią a centrum Galaktyki
Türkçe: Samanyolu'nun NASA'nın çektiği ve galaksideki binlerce yıldızın yüzlercesini gösteren bir kızılötesi görüntüsü. |
