➀ NASA的Webb望远镜成功捕捉到附近星系中多颗行星的图像,展示了其分析系外行星大气化学成分的能力。

➁ NASA确认詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜(JWST)已捕捉到地球银河系附近多个系外行星的直接图像。

➂ 通过对HR 8799行星系统的观测,Webb望远镜收集了强有力的证据,表明该系统中的四颗气态巨行星的形成方式与木星和土星相似,它们通过缓慢构建固体核心最终从原行星盘吸收气体。

➀ NASA的哈勃太空望远镜在距离地球至少6亿光年的深空中捕捉到了一个重大事件,描述为'爆炸声';

➁ 哈勃望远镜拍摄到了一个位于双子座星座的图像,展示了正在发生的超新星爆炸;

➂ 这种类型的超新星有助于天文学家确定地球与遥远星系之间的距离,因为这类超新星具有相同的'固有亮度',无论它们从地球上看起来有多亮。

➀ Researchers mistakenly identified Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster as a near-Earth asteroid.

➁ The error was corrected within a day after realizing the object's orbit matched the Falcon Heavy Upper stage with the Tesla Roadster attached.

➂ The incident highlights the need for accurate tracking of space objects and the challenges faced due to the lack of a centralized database.

➀ NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured a 2.5 billion-pixel image of the Andromeda galaxy, our closest neighbor, set to collide with the Milky Way in 4.5 billion years.

➁ The image is a result of over 10 years of work, consisting of approximately 600 different fields of view of Andromeda.

➂ The image captures 200 million stars and provides a detailed view of Andromeda almost edge-on, giving insights into the structure and evolution of spiral galaxies.
