O telescópio Hubble tem mostrado fotos extraordinárias desde que foi lançado em 1990, mas poucas fotos tem intrigado tanto como esta última.
A “Carina Nebula” é uma grande nuvem luminosa formada de gases intra-estrelares localizada na constelação Carina. De fato, é enorme, mede 200 anos-luz de diâmetro. O que é ainda mais intrigante é a parte que parece um anjo com uma asa branco e uma negra olhando solenemente para baixo.

The Hubble telescope has provided some extraordinary pictures since it was launched in 1990, but few as intriguing as this one.
The Carina Nebula is a large, luminous cloud of interstellar gas, located in the constellation of Carina. In fact, it is enormous, measuring 200 light years in diameter (that's two thousand million million kilometers across!). What's even more intriguing is that part of it looks like angel with one white wing and one black wing looking solemnly down.
Compare our artist's enhancement with the orginal image. Can you see it too?

lindo article ciao
Thank you for the exercise! This is a nice diversion from the regular Word of the Day.
It's great to hear the tones of the spoken language, which turn the written language into reality.
