Summary
[edit]DescriptionESO Very Large Telescope images the Medusa Nebula.jpg |
English: ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile has captured the most detailed image ever taken of the Medusa Nebula (also known Abell 21 and Sharpless 2-274). As the star at the heart of this nebula made its final transition into retirement, it shed its outer layers into space, forming this colourful cloud. The image foreshadows the final fate of the Sun, which will eventually also become an object of this kind. Русский: Самый детальный на май 2015 года снимок Туманности Медуза (она же Abell 21 и Sharpless 2-274) получен на Очень Большом Телескопе ESO (VLT) в Чили. Когда звезда, находящаяся в сердце этой туманности, закончила свою эволюцию, она сбросила в окружающее пространство свои внешние слои, которые и образовали разноцветное туманное облако. Снимок можно рассматривать как предвосхищение судьбы Солнца, которое тоже в конце концов превратится в похожий объект. |
