[漢羅] 天蠍座 ê 烏塔

Ùi 這个尾溜有足-kheh ê 星場 ê 蛛形星座 天蠍座 ê 剪影來看，這个宇宙塗粉雲予人聯想到一个 不祥 ê 烏塔。 實際上，這个 華麗 ê 望遠鏡影像 差不多有 40 光年闊，內底 ê 烏暗星雲，有幾若簇 ê 塗粉 kah 分子氣體 崩塌，形成恆星。 Tī 這幅影像面頂，一簇一簇 ê 嘛叫做 彗星雲球。 In 是去予 NGC 6231 內底有足燒恆星 ê OB 星協 發出 ê 強烈紫外光輻射掃做堆 ê 雲。 這款能量足強 ê 紫外光，嘛激發雲球邊仔 ê 水素氣體 產生紅光。 藏 tī 塗粉內底較燒 ê 恆星，tī 較藍 ê 反射星雲 彼搭。 NGC 6231 這个烏塔，kah 伊 ê 星雲伴，離咱差不多有 5000 光年遠。

[English] The Dark Tower in Scorpius

In silhouette against a crowded star field along the tail of the arachnalogical constellation Scorpius, this dusty cosmic cloud evokes for some the image of an ominous dark tower. In fact, clumps of dust and molecular gas collapsing to form stars may well lurk within the dark nebula, a structure that spans almost 40 light-years across this gorgeous telescopic portrait. Known as a cometary globule, the swept-back cloud, is shaped by intense ultraviolet radiation from the OB association of very hot stars in NGC 6231, off the upper edge of the scene. That energetic ultraviolet light also powers the globule’s bordering reddish glow of hydrogen gas. Hot stars embedded in the dust can be seen as bluish reflection nebulae. This dark tower, NGC 6231, and associated nebulae are about 5,000 light-years away.
