I-European Southern Observatory (ESO) yethule isithombe esimangalisayo se-NGC 1788, i-nebula ekhanyayo ecashe ezindaweni ezimnyama kakhulu zeqoqo lezinkanyezi le-Orion.
Isithombe esiboniswe ngezansi sithathwe i-Very Large Telescope njengengxenye yohlelo lwe-ESO's Space Treasures. Lolu hlelo lubandakanya ukuthwebula izithombe ezithakazelisayo, izinto ezingaqondakali noma ezinhle nje. Lolu hlelo lwenziwa ngesikhathi lapho izibonakude ze-ESO, ngenxa yezizathu ezehlukene, zingakwazi ukwenza ukuhlola kwesayensi.
I-nebula NGC 1788 ithi ukuma okumise kwelulwane kuhlaka. Ukwakheka kutholakala cishe ku-2000 light years away.
“Ilulwane” le-cosmic alikhanyi ngokukhanya kwalo, kodwa likhanyiswa iqoqo lezinkanyezi ezisencane ezitholakala ekujuleni kwalo. Abacwaningi bakholelwa ukuthi i-nebula yakhiwa umoya onamandla wezinkanyezi ezivela ezinkanyezini ezinkulu eziseduze. “Izingqimba ezingaphezulu zomkhathi wazo zikhipha imifudlana ye-plasma eshisayo endizela ngesivinini esimangalisayo emkhathini, okuthonya ukuma kwamafu azungeze izinkanyezi ezisanda kuzalwa ekujuleni kwe-nebula,” kuphawula i-ESO.
Kufanele kwengezwe ukuthi isithombe esiveziwe siyisithombe esinemininingwane eminingi ye-NGC 1788 etholwe kuze kube manje.
