- I-Sculptor Galaxy ithwetshulwe ngezinkulungwane zemibala ngenxa yamahora angaphezu kuka-50 wokuyibuka ngethuluzi le-MUSE ku-VLT ye-ESO.
- Isithombe esiwumphumela sivumela ukucwaninga kokubili imininingwane engabonakali kanye nokubuka okuphelele kwesistimu, okuhlonza ama-nebula eplanethi efihlekile angaba ngu-500 ngaphambili.
- Lo msebenzi uvula izindlela ezintsha zokuqonda ukuthi izinkanyezi nemithala zizalwa futhi ziguquke kanjani, futhi ugqamisa ukubaluleka kwamasu amasha ezithombe ze-spectroscopic.
- Lokhu kuhlola kuhlola ukuqonda kwethu ukwakheka kanye nokuguquguquka kwemithala eyinkimbinkimbi, enekhono lokuveza okwengeziwe mayelana nendaba, ukusebenzisana kwe-galactic, kanye ne-cosmic evolution.
I-Galaxy Sculptor, enye yezinto ezikhanya kakhulu futhi ezimangalisa kakhulu ezibonakalayo eMhlabeni, muva nje kuhlolisiswe kabanzi ngokwesayensi gracias a una Isithombe esitholwe ithuluzi le-MUSE kusibonakude se-VLT, etholakala endaweni yokubuka i-ESO eChile. Lesi sithombe esisha se-galactic asivumelanga nje kuphela ukuthi sibuke imininingwane ebingabonwa ngaphambilini, kodwa futhi Yakhiwe ngezinkulungwane zemibala engatholakali ezithombeni ezijwayelekile., ukuvula iwindi eliyingqayizivele ekusebenzeni kwangaphakathi kwale cosmic cossus.
Abacwaningi abavela emhlabeni wonke bachithe amahora angaphezu kuka-50 bebuka lesi simiso, ifakwe kuhlu ngokusemthethweni njenge-NGC 253 futhi itholakala cishe ezigidini eziyi-11 zeminyaka yokukhanya, ekwazi ukuhlanganisa Ukuchayeka okungaphezu kwekhulu ukwenza i-mosaic ububanzi obungama-light-year angaba ngu-65.000. La imagen resultante es kakhulu kunesithombe esilula: ibalazwe elinezinhlangothi eziningi eliveza ukwakheka, ukwakheka namandla okuguquguquka kwegesi, uthuli nezinkanyezi ezakha umthala.
Ilabhorethri yasezulwini esesimweni esikhethekile
UMqophi ugqama ngokuba seduze nobukhulu bawo, okwanele ukuhlukanisa ngokuningiliziwe izifunda zokwakheka kwenkanyezi nezinqubo zangaphakathi., kodwa inkulu ngokwanele ukutadisha umthala uwonke. Lesi simo esikabili, ngamagama ka-Enrico Congiu, umcwaningi we-ESO nomholi wesinye sezifundo, sikubeka "endaweni emnandi" ye-astrophysics.
Ngenxa yekhono le-MUSE lokuthwebula kanyekanye izinkulungwane zamaza amaza, ososayensi bangakwazi ukuhlonza izindawo ezicebile nge-hydrogen ionized—ebonakala njengezifunda ezibomvana ezixhumene nokuzalwa kwezinkanyezi ezintsha— futhi uhlukanise ezinye izindawo ezimakwe ngamagesi afana ne-oxygen, i-nitrogen noma isulfure. Kutholwe izithombe zombala mbumbulu okusivumela ukuthi sembule izenzakalo ezihlukahlukene njengobukhona bembobo emnyama emaphakathi, imimoya enamandla ye-galactic noma ama-halos abangelwa ukushayisana kwasendulo neminye imithala emincane.
Ukutholwa kwamakhulu amaplanethi ama-nebulae
Enye yezinto ezinkulu ezitholwe yile phrojekthi kube yi- Ukuhlonzwa kwe-nebulae yeplanethi engu-500 ngaphakathi kwe-Sculptor GalaxyLokhu kwakheka kwegesi nothuli, okuyizinto izinsalela zezinkanyezi ezifana neLanga esigabeni sazo sokugcina, abagcini nje ngokuhlobisa isithombe ngokukhazimula kwabo, kodwa futhi hlinzeka ngezimpawu ezibalulekile zebanga nobudala ngaphakathi kwesistimu.
Imvamisa, kweminye imithala engaphandle kwendawo ye-Milky Way, kutholwa kuphela ishumi nambili lalezi zakhiwo, ngakho-ke. Ukutholwa kumelela intuthuko eyisisekelo ekufanekiseni umlando nendawo yoMqophi.
Ukhiye walesi sithombe esisha ulele ku- ingcebo yolwazi olunikezwa ngokurekhoda imibala eminingi kunokuvamileNgayinye inikeza imikhondo mayelana neminyaka, ukwakheka, nokunyakaza kwezinkanyezi namafu egesi, okusiza ekwakheni kabusha kokubili izinqubo ezidlule neziqhubekayo emthaleni. Izazi zezinkanyezi zingakwazi manje "ukusondela" esikalini sezinkanyezi esiseduze ukubuka izifunda zokwakheka kwenkanyezi entsha, noma "hlehlisa" ukuze uthole umbono womhlaba wonke wokusebenzelana, ukufuduka kwegesi kanye nokuvela kwesistimu ye-galaxy iyonke.
Into eyireferensi ye-astronomy
I-Sculptor Galaxy ingenye efundwa kakhulu kusukela eningizimu yezwe, ibonakala ngisho nangezibonakude ze-ateur ngenxa yokukhanya kwayo nobukhulu obubonakalayo. Itholwe ngo-1783 nguCaroline Herschel futhi eyaziwa njengesibonelo sakudala somthala "wenkanyezi", noma omunye wemisebenzi emikhulu yezinkanyezi, iyaqhubeka kumangaza umphakathi wesayensi kanye nabathandi besibhakabhaka ebusuku ngezinga layo elinamandla lokwakheka kwezinkanyezi ezintsha nengcebo yemininingwane yangaphakathi, eziningi zazo zifihlwe ngemuva kwamaveli aminyene othuli angenwe ngama-X-ray kuphela.
Ngaphandle kwalokho, I-halo enkulu yezinkanyezi negesi eyizungezile iphakamisa ukuthi iye yahlangana noma yamunca eminye imithala emincane esikhathini esidlule., okuyenza ibe yingobo yomlando ephilayo ye-galactic evolution kanye nokunyakaza kwento enkulu endaweni yonke eseduze.
Ucwaningo alugcini nje ngokupenda isithombe esihlaba umxhwele. Ukuqoqwa kwale datha kuvula umnyango wokuthi Uphenyo olujulile lokuthi igesi ijikeleza, ishintsha, futhi inikela kanjani ekuzalweni kwenkanyezi ezifundeni ezahlukene zomthala. Ukuqonda ukuthi lezi zinqubo "ezincane" zingakhiqiza kanjani imiphumela emihle kakhulu ohlelweni olungamashumi ezinkulungwane zeminyaka yokukhanya kuyo yonke indawo kuhlala kungenye yezimfihlakalo ezinhle ze-astrophysics yesimanje.
Ngale mpumelelo, umphakathi wezinkanyezi manje usunenkomba yezinga lokuqala yocwaningo lwemithala esebenzayo neyinkimbinkimbi, okuvumela ukuqonda okwengeziwe ngomjikelezo wokuphila kwegesi nezinkanyezi futhi, ekugcineni, umsuka nesiphetho sezinhlelo ze-cosmic.
Ngingumshisekeli wezobuchwepheshe oguqule izintshisekelo zakhe "ze-geek" zaba umsebenzi. Ngichithe iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-10 yempilo yami ngisebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obusezingeni eliphezulu kanye nokukitaza ngazo zonke izinhlobo zezinhlelo ngenxa yelukuluku lokufuna ukwazi. Manje sengiqeqeshelwe ubuchwepheshe be-computer nemidlalo yama-video. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi sekuphele iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-5 ngisebenza ngokubhalela amawebhusayithi ahlukahlukene ezobuchwepheshe nemidlalo yevidiyo, ngenza izindatshana ezifuna ukukunikeza imininingwane oyidingayo ngolimi oluqondakala yiwo wonke umuntu.
Uma unemibuzo, ulwazi lwami lusukela kuyo yonke into ehlobene nesistimu yokusebenza ye-Windows kanye ne-Android yomakhalekhukhwini. Futhi ukuzibophezela kwami kuwe, ngihlala ngizimisele ukuchitha amaminithi ambalwa futhi ngikusize uxazulule noma yimiphi imibuzo ongase ube nayo kulo mhlaba we-inthanethi.
