Bungwe la US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) lawulula chithunzi chochititsa chidwi cha gulugufe wapamlengalenga, nyenyezi yomwe ikupanga dera la Westerhout 40 (W40).
Mapangidwe otchulidwawa ali pamtunda wa zaka pafupifupi 1420 kuwala kuchokera kwa ife mu gulu la nyenyezi la Serpens. Chimphonachi, chomwe chimawoneka ngati gulugufe, ndi nebula - mtambo waukulu wa mpweya ndi fumbi.
“Mapiko” a gulugufe wodabwitsa wa ku cosmic ndi timibulu ta mpweya wotentha kwambiri wochokera ku nyenyezi zotentha kwambiri komanso zazikulu kwambiri m’dera linalake.
Chithunzi chofalitsidwacho chinatumizidwa ku Dziko Lapansi kuchokera ku Spitzer Space Telescope. Chipangizochi, chomwe chinayambika mchaka cha 2003, chinapangidwa kuti chizitha kuyang'ana mlengalenga mumtundu wa infuraredi.
Ndizodziwika kuti chithunzi choperekedwa chimapangidwa pamaziko a zithunzi zinayi zojambulidwa ndi chida cha Infrared Array Camera (IRAC). Kujambula kunkachitika pamafunde osiyanasiyana.
Westerhout 40 ndi chitsanzo chowonekera bwino cha momwe kupangika kwa nyenyezi zatsopano kungayambitse kuwonongeka kwa mitambo ya mpweya ndi fumbi zomwe zinathandizira kubala zounikirazi.
