作者：全景再现科技 标题：Gum 15恒星形成区

简介： The Gum 15 star formation region。This richly detailed new view from the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at the La Silla Observatory in Chile shows the star formation region Gum 15. This little-known object is located in the constellation of Vela (The Sails), some 3000 light-years from Earth. The glowing cloud is a stunning example of an HII region. It also has a similarity to a more famous HII region, the Trifid Nebula (Messier 20). 这张由位于智利拉西拉天文台的MPG/ESO 2.2米望远镜拍摄的详细新照片显示了Gum 15的恒星形成区域。这颗鲜为人知的天体位于船帆星座，距离地球约3000光年。发光云是HII区域的一个令人惊叹的例子。它还与更著名的HII区域——三裂星云（Messier 20）相似。
