看向面纱之外
This image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) of star-forming region NGC 604 shows how stellar winds from bright, hot young stars carve out cavities in surrounding gas and dust.

In this image released on March 9, 2024, the NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope gives us a more detailed view of a well-studied but still mysterious region, NGC 604. The most noticeable features are tendrils and clumps of emission that appear bright red, extending out from areas that look like clearings, or large bubbles in the nebula. Stellar winds from the brightest and hottest young stars have carved out these cavities, while ultraviolet radiation ionizes the surrounding gas. This ionized hydrogen appears as a white and blue ghostly glow.

在2024年3月9日发布的这张照片中，NASA詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜上的NIRCam（近红外相机）为我们展示了一个被广泛研究但仍然神秘的区域NGC 604的更多细节。最明显的特征是呈鲜红色的蔓状和簇状发射物，它们从看起来像空地或星云中的大气泡的区域延伸出来。来自最亮、最热的年轻恒星的恒星风雕刻出了这些空洞，同时紫外线辐射使周围的气体电离。这些电离氢呈现出白色和蓝色的幽光。
