失去“火”力的蜘蛛星云

天文学家利用多台望远镜的观测数据，揭开了蜘蛛星云中一个长期存在的谜团。该研究针对该产星区内大质量星产生的X射线发射量低于预期的问题进行了分析。

A new composite image combining data from Chandra, Hubble, Webb and the retired Spitzer telescope has helped astronomers solve a long standing puzzle in the Tarantula Nebula, a star forming region 160,000 light years away. Young, massive stars there should be heating enough gas to emit X-rays, but observations showed far less X-ray emission than predicted.
