- Ua hopu ʻia ka Sculptor Galaxy i loko o nā kaukani kala ma mua o 50 mau hola o ka nānā ʻana me ka mea kani MUSE ma ka ESO's VLT.
- Hiki i ke kiʻi ke aʻo i nā kikoʻī microscopic ʻelua a me ka ʻike piha o ka ʻōnaehana, e ʻike ana i kahi 500 nebulae honua i hūnā mua ʻia.
- Wehe kēia hana i nā ala hou no ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ke ʻano o ka hānau ʻana a me ka ulu ʻana o nā hōkū a me nā galaxies, a hōʻike i ke koʻikoʻi o nā ʻenehana kiʻi spectroscopic hou.
- Ke hoʻāʻo nei ka nānā ʻana i ko mākou ʻike no ka hoʻokumu ʻana a me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana o nā galaxies paʻakikī, me ka hiki ke hōʻike hou aku e pili ana i ka mea, ka pilina galactic, a me ka evolution cosmic.
Ka Galaxy Sculptor, ʻO kekahi o nā mea nani loa a ʻike ʻia mai ka Honua, ua loaʻa i ka ʻike ʻepekema nui i kēia manawa mahalo i kahi Loaʻa ke kiʻi e ka mea hana MUSE ma ke kelepona VLT, aia ma ka ESO observatory ma Chile. ʻAʻole ʻae kēia kiʻi galactic hou iā mākou e nānā i nā kikoʻī i ʻike ʻole ʻia ma mua, akā pū kekahi Ua haku ʻia mai nā kaukani kala i loaʻa ʻole i nā kiʻi maʻamau., e wehe ana i kahi puka aniani kū hoʻokahi i ka hana o loko o kēia cosmic colossus.
Ua lilo nā mea noiʻi mai nā wahi a puni o ka honua ma mua o 50 mau hola e nānā ana i kēia ʻōnaehana, Ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia ʻo NGC 253 a aia ma kahi o 11 miliona mau makahiki māmā, ka hooponopono ana e hui ʻOi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi haneli mau hōʻike e hana i kahi mosaic ma kahi o 65.000 mau makahiki māmā ākeaʻO ke kiʻi i loaʻa mai ʻoi aku ma mua o ke kiʻi maʻalahi: he palapala 'āina multidimensional e hōʻike ana i ke ʻano, ka haku mele a me ka ikaika o ke kinoea, lepo a me nā hōkū i hoʻokumu ʻia ka galaxy.
He hale hana lani ma kahi kūlana hanohano
Kū ka Sculptor no kona kokoke a me ka nui, lawa e hoʻokaʻawale i nā wahi kikoʻī o ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā hōkū a me nā kaʻina hana i loko., akā nui ka nui e aʻo ai i ke aniani holoʻokoʻa. ʻO kēia kūlana ʻelua, ma nā ʻōlelo a Enrico Congiu, kahi mea noiʻi ESO a alakaʻi hoʻi o kekahi o nā haʻawina, hoʻokomo iā ia i kahi "wahi momona" no ka astrophysics.
Mahalo i ka hiki iā MUSE ke hopu i nā tausani o nā nalu nalu, hiki i nā ʻepekema ke ʻike nā ʻāpana waiwai i ka hydrogen ionized—e like me nā ʻāpana ʻulaʻula i pili i ka hānau ʻana o nā hōkū hou— a hoʻokaʻawale i nā wahi ʻē aʻe i kaha ʻia e nā kinoea e like me ka oxygen, nitrogen a i ʻole sulfur. Ua loaʻa nā kiʻi kala hoʻopunipuni ʻo ia ka mea e ʻae iā mākou e hōʻike i nā mea like ʻole e like me ke kū ʻana o kahi lua ʻeleʻele waena, nā makani galactic ikaika a i ʻole nā halo i hopena mai ka hui ʻana o ka wā kahiko me nā galaxies liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe.
ʻIke ʻia o nā haneli o nā nebula honua
ʻO kekahi o nā mea i ʻike nui ʻia o kēia papahana ʻo ia ka ʻIke ʻia o kahi 500 planetary nebulae i loko o ka Sculptor GalaxyʻO kēia mau ʻano o ke kinoea a me ka lepo, ʻo ia ka koena o na hoku e like me ka La i ko lakou pae hope, aole lakou e hoonani wale i ke kii me ko lakou olinolino, aka hāʻawi i nā hōʻailona waiwai o ka mamao a me ka makahiki i loko o ka ʻōnaehana.
ʻO ka mea maʻamau, ma nā galaxia ʻē aʻe ma waho o kahi kokoke i ka Milky Way, he mau kakini wale nō o kēia mau hale i ʻike ʻia, no laila Hōʻike ka ʻike i kahi holomua nui i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i ka mōʻaukala a me kahi o ka Sculptor.
Aia ke kī o kēia kiʻi hou i ka ka waiwai o ka ʻike i hāʻawi ʻia e ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā kala he nui aʻe ma mua o ka maʻamauHāʻawi kēlā me kēia i nā hōʻailona e pili ana i ka makahiki, ka haku ʻana, a me nā neʻe ʻana o nā hōkū a me nā ao kinoea, e kōkua ana i ke kūkulu hou ʻana i nā kaʻina hana i hala a me nā kaʻina hana i ka galaxy. Hiki i nā Astronomers i kēia manawa "hoʻokokoke" i kahi pālākiō kokoke e nānā i nā wahi o ka hoʻokumu ʻana o nā hōkū hou, a i ʻole "zoom out" e kiʻi i ka ʻike honua o ka launa pū ʻana, ka neʻe ʻana o ke kinoea a me ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻōnaehana galactic holoʻokoʻa..
He mea kuhikuhi no ka kilo hōkū
ʻO ka Sculptor Galaxy kekahi o nā mea i aʻo nui ʻia mai ka ʻaoʻao hema, ʻike ʻia me nā telescopes amateur ma muli o kona ʻālohilohi a me kona nui. Ua ʻike ʻia i ka makahiki 1783 e Caroline Herschel a ʻike ʻia ʻo ia he kumu hoʻohālike o ka "starburst" galaxy, a i ʻole kekahi o nā hana stellar nui, hoʻomau ia e kāhāhā i nā kaiāulu ʻepekema a me nā mea aloha i ka lani pō no ka wikiwiki o ka hoʻokumu ʻana o nā hōkū hou a me ka waiwai o nā kikoʻī o loko.
Eia kekahi, ʻO ka halo nui o nā hōkū a me ke kinoea e hoʻopuni ana iā ia e hōʻike ana ua launa pū ʻo ia me nā aniani liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe i ka wā ma mua., e hoʻolilo iā ia i waihona ola o ka evolution galactic a me ka neʻe ʻana o nā mea nui i ka honua kokoke.
ʻAʻole paʻi wale ka haʻawina i ke kiʻi hoihoi. ʻO ka hōʻiliʻili o kēia ʻikepili wehe i ka puka i Nā noiʻi hohonu i ka holo ʻana o ke kinoea, hoʻololi a kōkua i ka hānau ʻana o ka hōkū ma nā ʻāpana like ʻole o ka galaxy. ʻO ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana pehea e hiki ai i kēia mau kaʻina hana "liʻiliʻi" ke hoʻopuka i nā hopena koʻikoʻi i loko o kahi ʻōnaehana he ʻumi kaukani mau makahiki māmā ma waena o kekahi o nā mea pohihihi nui o nā astrophysics hou.
Me kēia hoʻokō, ua loaʻa i ke kaiāulu astronomical kahi kuhikuhi papa mua no ke aʻo ʻana i nā galaxies ikaika a paʻakikī, e ʻae ai i ka hoʻomaopopo hou ʻana i ke kaʻina ola o ke kinoea a me nā hōkū, a ma hope, ke kumu a me ka hopena o nā ʻōnaehana cosmic.
He kanaka ʻenehana wau i hoʻololi i kāna mau makemake "geek" i ʻoihana. Ua hoʻohana au ma mua o 10 mau makahiki o koʻu ola me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻenehana ʻokiʻoki a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i nā ʻano papahana āpau ma muli o ka ʻike maʻemaʻe. I kēia manawa ua loea wau i ka ʻenehana kamepiula a me nā pāʻani wikiō. ʻO kēia no ka mea ʻoi aku ma mua o 5 mau makahiki aʻu i kākau ai no nā pūnaewele like ʻole e pili ana i ka ʻenehana a me nā pāʻani wikiō, e hana ana i nā ʻatikala e ʻimi nei e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka ʻike āu e pono ai ma kahi ʻōlelo i hoʻomaopopo ʻia e nā mea a pau.
Inā he mau nīnau kāu, pili koʻu ʻike mai nā mea a pau e pili ana i ka ʻōnaehana hana Windows a me Android no nā kelepona paʻalima. A ʻo kaʻu hoʻohiki ʻana iā ʻoe, makemake mau wau e hoʻolilo i mau minuke a kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻoholo i nā nīnau āu e loaʻa ai ma kēia ao pūnaewele.
