[漢羅] NGC 1499：加州星雲

太空中敢有 Calafia 女王 ê 神話島嶼？ 可能無，毋過這團太空分子雲 ê 外形，kah 美國加州是有成。 咱 ê 太陽 就 tī 銀河系 ê 獵戶座捲螺仔手骨 頂懸，離 加州星雲 才 1000光年遠爾爾。 伊嘛叫做 NGC 1499，是一个典型 ê 發射星雲，差不多有 100 光年 長。 Tī 這張影像 內底，加州星雲上顯目 ê 紅光，是 ùi 水素 原子重新 kah phàng 見 ê 電子複合，發出 ê 光。 這个 phàng 見 ê 電子，是去予 高能恆星光 kā 電離，才走去–ê。 發出 高能恆星光、kā 大部份 星雲氣體 電離 ê，應該是 tī 星雲 ê 正爿彼粒較光、高溫、藍色 ê 英仙座 ξ。 加州星雲是天文攝影師愛翕 ê 目標。 Tī 烏暗夜空中，用闊幅望遠鏡 tī 英仙座 方向、昴宿星團 附近就 揣會著伊。

[English] NGC 1499: The California Nebula

Could Queen Calafia’s mythical island exist in space? Perhaps not, but by chance the outline of this molecular space cloud echoes the outline of the state of California, USA. Our Sun has its home within the Milky Way’s Orion Arm, only about 1,000 light-years from the California Nebula. Also known as NGC 1499, the classic emission nebula is around 100 light-years long. On the featured image, the most prominent glow of the California Nebula is the red light characteristic of hydrogen atoms recombining with long lost electrons, stripped away ionized by energetic starlight. The star most likely providing the energetic starlight that ionizes much of the nebular gas is the bright, hot, bluish Xi Persei just to the right of the nebula. A regular target for astrophotographers, the California Nebula can be spotted with a wide-field telescope under a dark sky toward the constellation of Perseus, not far from the Pleiades.
