Umhla zingama-24 kuMbasa umaka iminyaka engu-30 ncamashi selokhu kwethulwa i-Discovery shuttle i-STS-31 nge-Hubble Telescope (NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope). Ukuhlonipha lo mcimbi, i-US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) inqume ukuphinde ishicilele esinye sezithombe ezidume kakhulu nesimangalisayo esithathwe endaweni yokubuka i-orbital - isithombe "Sezinsika Zendalo".
Phakathi neminyaka engamashumi amathathu yokusebenza, u-Hubble uye wadlulisela eMhlabeni inani elikhulu lolwazi lwesayensi, ukubaluleka kwalo okunzima ukukucabangela ngokweqile. Isibonakude “sabuka” izinkanyezi eziningi, ama-nebulae, imithala namaplanethi. Ikakhulukazi, kwathathwa ukwakheka kobuhle obumangalisayo - okushiwo "Izinsika Zokudala".
Lesi sakhiwo siyindawo eyenza inkanyezi ku-Eagle Nebula. Itholakala ebangeni elingaba yiminyaka eyi-7000 yokukhanya ukusuka eMhlabeni.
“Izinsika Zendalo” zihlanganisa ngokuyinhloko i-hydrogen yamangqamuzana abandayo nothuli. Ngaphansi kwethonya lamandla adonsela phansi, ama-condensation akhiwa efwini legesi nothuli, lapho kuzalwa khona izinkanyezi.
Isithombe esidume kakhulu "Sezinsika Zokudala" ebangeni elibonakalayo (emfanekisweni wokuqala). I-NASA inikezela ngokubheka lesi sakhiwo ngokukhanya kwe-infrared. Kulesi sithombe, izinsika zibukeka njengezakhiwo ezisabekayo, eziyisipoki ezibonakala ngemuva kwenani elikhulu lezinkanyezi ezikhanyayo (chofoza ukuze ukhulise).
