[漢羅] Arp 142：蜂仔鳥星系

這个捲螺仔星系是發生啥物代誌？ 幾若億年前，這張相片下底這兩个大型 星系 khah 頂懸彼个 NGC 2936，猶是 一般 ê 捲螺仔星系，伊 leh 自轉，leh 製造恆星，leh 無閒家己 ê 代誌。 毋過伊隨就 kah 下底彼个 大質量 長株圓星系 NGC 2937 行傷倚矣，煞改變伊 ê 方向。 NGC 2936 受著 近距離 ê 引力交互作用，毋但改變方向，嘛去予搝甲變形。 這个外形予伊嘛去 hŏng 叫做 蜂仔鳥 星系。 Tī 烏暗 星際塗粉 ê 雲絲後壁彼粒足光 ê 藍光星，就是蜂仔鳥 ê 鼻仔，捲螺仔星系 ê 中心就是目睭。 這組 星系對 做伙叫做 Arp 142，看起來就敢若 海豬仔 抑是 leh 保護卵 ê 徛鵝。 這張有 Arp 142 清楚細節 ê 相片是最近 Hubble 太空望遠鏡 翕--ê ，有 重新處理過。 Arp 142 就 chhāi tī 水蛇座 方向 3 億 光年 遠 ê 所在。 閣 10 億年左右，這兩个星系 有可能會合併 做一个較大型 ê 星系。

[English] Arp 142: The Hummingbird Galaxy

What's happening to this spiral galaxy? Just a few hundred million years ago, NGC 2936, the upper of the two large galaxies shown at the bottom, was likely a normal spiral galaxy -- spinning, creating stars -- and minding its own business. But then it got too close to the massive elliptical galaxy NGC 2937, just below, and took a turn. Sometimes dubbed the Hummingbird Galaxy for its iconic shape, NGC 2936 is not only being deflected but also being distorted by the close gravitational interaction. Behind filaments of dark interstellar dust, bright blue stars form the nose of the hummingbird, while the center of the spiral appears as an eye. Alternatively, the galaxy pair, together known as Arp 142, look to some like Porpoise or a penguin protecting an egg. The featured re-processed image showing Arp 142 in great detail was taken recently by the Hubble Space Telescope. Arp 142 lies about 300 million light years away toward the constellation of the Water Snake (Hydra). In a billion years or so the two galaxies will likely merge into one larger galaxy.
