美国航天局的Chandra天文台捕捉了恒星占星层的第一幅图像,揭示了年轻恒星如何塑造周围环境。
NASA’s Chandra Observatory captured the first image of a star’s astrosphere, revealing how young stars shape their surroundings.
美国航天局的Chandra X射线天文台首次直接拍摄了占星层的图像——热气的泡泡——约HD 61005,这是一颗与太阳相似的年轻恒星,距离太阳120光年远。
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has captured the first direct image of an astrosphere—a bubble of hot gas—around HD 61005, a young star similar to the Sun, located 120 light-years away.
在大约一亿年前,恒星的强大、快速移动的恒星风正在向较稠密的星际材料推进,形成通过X光排放探测到的泡泡。
At about 100 million years old, the star’s powerful, fast-moving stellar wind is pushing into denser interstellar material, creating a bubble detected through X-ray emissions.
这一发现为了解太阳等恒星如何塑造其早期环境,包括行星系统的形成,提供了新的洞察力。
This discovery offers new insights into how stars like our Sun shaped their early environments, including the formation of planetary systems.
