[漢羅] 貓眼星雲 ê 闊幅深空影像

貓眼星雲 (NGC 6543) 是天頂上有名 ê 行星形星雲之一。 逐家熟似 ê 貓眼星雲 tī 這張 hŏng 印象足深 ê 闊幅景色內底，其實是星雲 中央 較光彼區。 這幅闊幅 ê 深空影像是 kā 兩台望遠鏡 ê 影像資料合併 ê 結果，咱嘛看會著星雲外部 足暗 ê 暈。 照估算 ê 距離 3000 光年來看，這个較暗 ê 外部暈差不多有 5 光年闊。 行星形星雲長期以來，一直去 hŏng 認為是 類太陽恆星 演化到 性命 上尾 ê 階段。 最近，有一寡行星形星雲攏有發現 這款 暈，可能是恆星演化早期階段 擲出來 ê 物質形成–ê。 行星形星雲 這个階段去 hŏng 認為講會擋 1 萬年左右，毋過天文學家估計外部暈 ê 雲絲 ê 年歲，差不多有 5 萬歲到 9 萬歲。 Tī 相片倒爿有一个捲螺仔星系 NGC 6552，kah 這个行星形星雲 ê 距離是差 5000 萬光年左右。

[English] Cat’s Eye Wide and Deep

The Cat’s Eye Nebula (NGC 6543) is one of the best known planetary nebulae in the sky. Its more familiar outlines are seen in the brighter central region of the nebula in this impressive wide-angle view. But this wide and deep image combining data from two telescopes also reveals its extremely faint outer halo. At an estimated distance of 3,000 light-years, the faint outer halo is over 5 light-years across. Planetary nebulae have long been appreciated as a final phase in the life of a sun-like star. More recently, some planetary nebulae are found to have halos like this one, likely formed of material shrugged off during earlier episodes in the star’s evolution. While the planetary nebula phase is thought to last for around 10,000 years, astronomers estimate the age of the outer filamentary portions of this halo to be 50,000 to 90,000 years. Visible on the right, some 50 million light-years beyond the watchful planetary nebula, lies spiral galaxy NGC 6552.
