On February 14, 2022, the National Astronomical Research Institute (Public Organization) (Public Organization) Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation posted pictures through the page. NARIT National Astronomical Research Institute with the message that diamond ringcalled a carat, but the realm ofloveIn space, it’s called light years.
ValentineThis year, let’s send love deep into the deep space.
Q: How deep is your love?
A: It’s 2,500 light years baby.
Q: How deep is your love?
A: It’s 2500 light-years deep in space, dear.
Abell 33: Space diamond ring
Abell 33 is a planetary nebula. About 2500 light-years from Earth, it is the remains of a star with a mass similar to that of the defunct Sun. The star’s mass is dispersed around it, forming a large blue gas bubble as pictured. While the brightest star in this image is HD 83535, right in front of the nebula. This beautiful space diamond ring was born. [1]
This image was captured by the Very Large Telescope, or VLT, located in northern Chile. It shows the shape of the gas propagating into a nearly symmetrical spherical shape. which is very difficult This is because as matter is propagating around it is prone to interference, i.e. it may be disturbed by the rotation of the stars. Or it might be disturbed by the gravity of nearby stars. Most of these nebulae are therefore distorted and asymmetrical.
In addition, if observed near the center of the blue gas bubble will find a small bright white spot, that is white dwarf (White Dwarf) that is radiating high intensity ultraviolet radiation. causing the surrounding gas mass to gradually dissipate and emit light.
sphereEach star in the sky has a different ending depending on its “mass”. In this case, it is a star with a mass similar to that of the Sun. The outermost layer of matter is dispersed around, leaving the former center of the star at the center, the white dwarf, which is only 0.8-2% the size of the Sun. (comparable to the size of the world) [2] and has a surface temperature of up to 20,000 degrees Celsius
