英文原文:Explanation: It is one of the largest nebulas on the sky -- why isn't it better known? Roughly the same angular size as the Andromeda Galaxy , the Great Lacerta Nebula can be found toward the constellation of the Lizard (Lacerta) . The emission nebula is difficult to see with wide-field binoculars because >it is so faint , but also usually difficult to see with a large telescope because it is so great in angle -- spanning about three degrees . The depth, breadth, waves , and beauty of the nebula -- cataloged as Sharpless 126 (Sh2-126) -- can best be seen and appreciated with a long duration camera exposure . The featured image is one such combined exposure -- in this case taken over three nights in August through dark skies in Moses Lake , Washington , USA . The hydrogen gas in the Great Lacerta Nebula glows red because it is excited by light from the bright star 10 Lacertae , one of the bright blue stars just to the left of the red-glowing nebula's center. Most of the stars and nebula are about 1,200 light years distant. Jigsaw Universe: Astronomy Puzzle of the Day 说明: 这是天空中最大型的星云之一——但为何却鲜为人知?它在视角上与仙女座大星云M31[2]大小相近,位置位于蝎虎座[3]方向,因此被称为「大蝎虎星云」。然而,这个发射星云[4]并不容易观测:在广角双筒望远镜下因亮度微弱[5]而难以看清,而在大型望远镜中又因角度过大(横跨约三度[6])而难以完整呈现。这片星云的深度、宽度、波纹[7]结构与壮丽之美——在星云目录中被编为 Sharpless 126 (Sh2-126)[8]—适合通过长时间曝光的[9]的天文摄影来欣赏。 这张展示图像便是经过三晚曝光所合成的成果,拍摄于美国[10]华盛顿州[11]摩西湖[12]的漆黑夜空下。大天蜥星云中的氢气[13]因受到明亮蓝星10 Lacertae[14]的激发而发出红光[15],这颗蓝星位于星云红光中心左侧。大部分星云与恒星的距离约为 1,200 光年[16]。
