오늘의 멋진 우주 그림 (2023-01-09)

안녕하세요, 우주 관련 뉴스 입니다. 오늘은 NASA에서 어떤 소식들을 전해줄까요?
우선 이미지를 살펴보도록 하겠습니다!

 

이 이미지 제목은 Tails of Comet ZTF 러써. NASA에서 공식적으로 제공한 소개를 살펴보겠습니다.

 

Comet ZTF may become visible to the unaided eye. Discovered early last year, this massive snowball has been brightening as it approaches the Sun and the Earth. C/2022 E3 (ZTF) will be closest to the Sun later this week, at which time it may become visible even without binoculars to northern observers with a clear and dark sky. As they near the Sun, comet brightnesses are notoriously hard to predict, though. In the featured image taken last week in front of a picturesque star field, three blue ion tails extend to the upper right, likely the result of a variable solar wind on ions ejected by the icy comet nucleus. The comet's white dust tail is visible to the upper left and much shorter. The green glow is the comet's coma, caused by glowing carbon gas. Comet ZTF is expected to pass nearest the Earth in early February, after which it should dim dramatically. Discovery + Outreach: Graduate student research position open for APOD

 

오늘도 광활한 우주 앞에 인간이 얼마나 작은 존재인지 깨닫게 되네요.
저는 내일도 더 좋은 사진과 함께 돌아오겠습니다, 행복한 지구여행 되세요!
