NASA 나사의 오늘의 이미지들 (2024-01-15)

안녕하세요, 잡학다식 입니다. 오늘은 과연 나사에서 어떤 방식으로 우주의 형상을 표현해 줄까요?
우선 이미지부터 볼 수 있도록 하겠습니다

 

해당 사진의 이름은 Star Cluster IC 348 from Webb 인데요 우선 NASA에서 공식적으로 발표한 설명들을 확인해 보겠습니다

 

Sometimes, it's the stars that are the hardest to see that are the most interesting. IC 348 is a young star cluster that illuminates surrounding filamentary dust. The stringy and winding dust appears pink in this recently released infrared image from the Webb Space Telescope. In visible light, this dust reflects mostly blue light, giving the surrounding material the familiar blue hue of a reflection nebula. Besides bright stars, several cool objects have been located in IC 348, visible because they glow brighter in infrared light. These objects are hypothesized to be low mass brown dwarfs. Evidence for this includes the detection of an unidentified atmospheric chemical, likely a hydrocarbon, seen previously in the atmosphere of Saturn. These objects appear to have masses slightly greater than known planets, only a few times greater than Jupiter. Together, these indicate that this young star cluster contains something noteworthy -- young planet-mass brown dwarfs that float free, not orbiting any other star.

 

이번에도 광활한 우주 앞에 인간이 얼마나 작은 존재인지 다시 한번 알게 되는것 같습니다
저는 내일도 더 좋은 사진과 함께 돌아오겠습니다, 그럼 행목한 하루 되시길 바랍니다
