英文原文:Explanation: Can you see the bat? It haunts this cosmic close-up of the eastern Veil Nebula . The Veil Nebula itself is a large supernova remnant, the expanding debris cloud from the death explosion of a massive star . While the Veil is roughly circular in shape and covers nearly 3 degrees on the sky toward the constellation of the Swan ( Cygnus ), NGC 6995, known informally as the Bat Nebula, spans only 1/2 degree, about the apparent size of the Moon . That translates to 12 light-years at the Veil's estimated distance, a reassuring 1,400 light-years from planet Earth . In the composite of image data recorded through several narrow band filters, with emission from hydrogen atoms in the remnant shown in red and with strong emission from oxygen atoms shown in hues of blue. Of course, in the western part of the Veil lies another seasonal apparition: the Witch's Broom Nebula. 说明: 你能看到蝙蝠吗?它在这张面纱星云[2]东边的宇宙特写中若隐若现。面纱星云本身是一个巨大的超新星残骸,是一颗大质量恒星[3]死亡爆炸[4]后扩展的碎片云。尽管面纱星云大致呈圆形[5],覆盖天鹅座(Cygnus[6])方向近 3 度的天空,但NGC 6995,俗称蝙蝠星云,跨越仅1/2度,大约相当于月球[7]的视直径。面纱星云距离地球约1,400 光年,令人放心,依此距离估计[8],面纱星云的跨度约12光年。 通过几个窄频[9]滤光片记录的图像数据合成中,残骸中氢原子的发射显示为红色,氧原子的强烈发射显示为蓝色调。当然,在面纱星云的西边还有另一个[10]季节性幻影:女巫的扫帚[11]星云。
