오늘의 우주 사진 (2023-02-26)

최근 NASA에서 우주 모습을 알려줬는데요 과연 어떻게 보여질지 기대가 됩니다
그러면 지금부터 이미지를 살펴보겠습니다

 

이 사진의 이름은 Saturn's Iapetus: Moon with a Strange Surface 인데요 국제기구인 NASA에서도 공식 자료를 확인해보도록 하겠습니다

 

What would make a moon look like a walnut? A strange ridge that circles Saturn's moon Iapetus's equator, visible near the bottom of the featured image, makes it appear similar to a popular edible nut. The origin of the ridge remains unknown, though, with hypotheses including ice that welled up from below, a ring that crashed down from above, and structure left over from its formation perhaps 100 million years ago. Also strange is that about half of Iapetus is so dark that it can nearly disappear when viewed from Earth, while the rest is, reflectively, quite bright. Observations show that the degree of darkness of the terrain is strangely uniform, as if a dark coating was somehow recently applied to an ancient and highly cratered surface. Last, several large impact basins occur around Iapetus, with a 400-kilometer wide crater visible near the image center, surrounded by deep cliffs that drop sharply to the crater floor. The featured image was taken by the Saturn-orbiting Cassini spacecraft during a flyby of Iapetus at the end of 2004.

 

이번에도 광대한 우주크기에 인간이 얼마나 작은지 확인하게 되는 사건입니다
그러면 다음시간에 더 좋은 정보들을 들고 오도록 하겠습니다 행복한 지구여행 되시길 바랍니다
