[漢羅] LDN 43：宇宙夜婆星雲

銀河系內底上使人驚惶 ê 星雲是佗一个？ 其中一个應該是 LDN 43，伊足成是一隻大型 ê 宇宙 夜婆，佇 萬聖節 暗暝 ê 星空 咧飛。 這个 分子雲 就佇 蛇夫座 遐，離咱有 1400 光年 遠。 伊厚甲毋但會 kā 背景光線閘牢，嘛 kā 反射星雲 LBN 7 照予光 ê 氣體閘牢矣。 這个 12 光年長 ê 氣體 塗粉 雲絲，實際上是一个 恆星托兒所，毋是歹吉兆。 這隻夜婆發出 ê 奇怪 光線，是因為這寡光是 ùi 實密 ê 氣體丸 內底照出來–ê，這內底有才拄形成 ê 新恆星。

[English] LDN 43: The Cosmic Bat Nebula

What is the most spook-tacular nebula in the galaxy? One contender is LDN 43, which bears an astonishing resemblance to a vast cosmic bat flying amongst the stars on a dark Halloween night. Located about 1400 light years away in the constellation Ophiuchus, this molecular cloud is dense enough to block light not only from background stars, but from wisps of gas lit up by the nearby reflection nebula LBN 7. Far from being a harbinger of death, this 12-light year-long filament of gas and dust is actually a stellar nursery. Glowing with eerie light, the bat is lit up from inside by dense gaseous knots that have just formed young stars.
