[漢羅] Mirach ê 幽靈

若是講著鬼，Mirach ê 幽靈 敢若無遐爾 恐怖。 Mirach ê 幽靈 是一个暗暗霧霧 ê 星系。 毋閣天文學家知影講，伊拄仔好 kah 一粒足光 ê 恆星 Mirach ê 視線方向 giōng-欲仝。 Mirach 嘛叫做 仙女座 β，to̍h tī 這个星場 ê 中央。 Mirach 是一粒 紅巨 星，離咱有 200 光年遠。 伊比太陽較冷，毋閣比太陽較大粒，伊實際上嘛比太陽較光。 Ùi 大部份 ê 望遠鏡來看，爍光 kah 繞射光尖 藏 tī Mirach 附近 ê 天體，才會予 這个暗暗霧霧 ê 星系 看起來 敢若是 反射 Mirach 恆星光 ê 結果，to̍h 親像是伊 ê 幽靈仝款。 Tī 這張清楚 ê 相片 內底，Mirach ê 正爿面頂有 Mirach ê 幽靈，伊去予編做 NGC 404，離咱有 1000 萬光年遠。

[English] Mirach's Ghost

As far as ghosts go, Mirach's Ghost isn't really that scary. Mirach's Ghost is just a faint, fuzzy galaxy, well known to astronomers, that happens to be seen nearly along the line-of-sight to Mirach, a bright star. Centered in this star field, Mirach is also called Beta Andromedae. About 200 light-years distant, Mirach is a red giant star, cooler than the Sun but much larger and so intrinsically much brighter than our parent star. In most telescopic views, glare and diffraction spikes tend to hide things that lie near Mirach and make the faint, fuzzy galaxy look like a ghostly internal reflection of the almost overwhelming starlight. Still, appearing in this sharp image just above and to the right of Mirach, Mirach's Ghost is cataloged as galaxy NGC 404 and is estimated to be some 10 million light-years away.
