I-US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) ibonise umfanekiso omangalisayo webhabhathane le-cosmic, inkwenkwezi eyenza ummandla we-Westerhout 40 (W40).
Ulwakhiwo oluthiywe lubekwe kumgama omalunga ne-1420 yeminyaka yokukhanya ukusuka kuthi kwiqoqo leenkwenkwezi zeSerpens. Isakhiwo esikhulu, esifana nebhabhathane, yinebula - ilifu elikhulu legesi nothuli.
“Amaphiko” ebhabhathane elimangalisayo lecosmic ngamaqamza erhasi eshushu ephuma kwiinkwenkwezi ezishushu nezinkulu kakhulu kummandla othile.
Umfanekiso opapashiweyo wathunyelwa eMhlabeni usuka kwiSpitzer Space Telescope. Esi sixhobo, saphehlelelwa ngo-2003, senzelwe ukujonga indawo kuluhlu lwe-infrared.
Kuqatshelwe ukuba umfanekiso obonisiweyo wenziwe ngesiseko semifanekiso emine ethathwe sisixhobo se-Infrared Array Camera (IRAC). Ukufotwa kwakuqhutywa kubude bamaza ahlukeneyo.
I-Westerhout 40 ngumzekelo ocacileyo wendlela ukubunjwa kweenkwenkwezi ezintsha kunokukhokelela ekutshatyalalisweni kwamafu egesi kunye nothuli olwanceda ukuzala ezi zikhanyiso.
