Description |
English: Resembling looming rain clouds on a stormy day, dark lanes of dust crisscross the giant elliptical galaxy Centaurus A.
Hubble's panchromatic vision, stretching from ultraviolet through near-infrared wavelengths, reveals the vibrant glow of young, blue star clusters and a glimpse into regions normally obscured by the dust. The warped shape of Centaurus A's disk of gas and dust is evidence for a past collision and merger with another galaxy. The resulting shockwaves cause hydrogen gas clouds to compress, triggering a firestorm of new star formation. These are visible in the red patches in this Hubble close-up. At a distance of just over 11 million light-years, Centaurus A contains the closest active galactic nucleus to Earth. The center is home for a supermassive black hole that ejects jets of high-speed gas into space, but neither the supermassive black hole or the jets are visible in this image. This image was taken in July 2010 with Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3.Français : Ressemblant à des nuages de pluie qui menace un jour de tempête, ruelles sombres de poussière sillonnent le galaxie elliptique géante Centaurus A.
Vision panchromatique de Hubble, qui s'étend de l'ultraviolet à travers le proche infrarouge, révèle l'éclat vibrant de jeunes, des amas d'étoiles bleues et un aperçu dans les régions normalement obscurcis par la poussière. La forme dévoyée de disque de Centaurus A du gaz et de poussières est la preuve d'une collision passée et fusion avec une autre galaxie. Les ondes de choc résultant provoquer des nuages de gaz d'hydrogène à comprimer, déclenchant une tempête de formation de nouvelles étoiles. Ce sont visibles dans les taches rouges dans cette Hubble close-up. À une distance de plus de 11 millions d'années-lumière, Centaurus A contient le plus proche du noyau actif de galaxie de la Terre. Le centre est à la maison pour un trou noir supermassif qui éjecte des jets de haute-vitesse du gaz dans l'espace, mais ni le trou noir supermassif ou les jets sont visibles dans cette image. Cette image a été prise en Juillet 2010 avec Hubble 3 de champ de la caméra Wide.Dutch Heeft veel weg van dreigende regenwolken op een stormachtige dag, donkere steegjes van stof kriskras door het reusachtige elliptische sterrenstelsel Centaurus A. Panchromatische visie van Hubble, die zich uitstrekt van ultraviolet tot nabij-infrarode golflengten, onthult de levendige gloed van jonge, blauwe sterren clusters en een kijkje in de regio's doorgaans verduisterd door het stof. De verwrongen vorm van schijf Centaurus A's van gas en stof is het bewijs voor een vroegere botsing en fusie met een ander sterrenstelsel. De resulterende schokgolven veroorzaken waterstofgas wolken om te comprimeren, wat leidde tot een storm van nieuwe stervorming. Deze zijn zichtbaar in de rode vlekken in dit Hubble close-up. Op een afstand van iets meer dan 11 miljoen lichtjaar, Centaurus A bevat de dichtstbijzijnde actieve galactische kern naar de Aarde. Het centrum is de thuisbasis voor een superzwaar zwart gat dat jets van high-speed gas werpt in de ruimte, maar geen van beide het superzware zwarte gat of de jets zijn zichtbaar in dit beeld. Dit beeld werd genomen in juli 2010 met Wide Field Camera van Hubble 3. |
