词条 可见光谱

描述: 波长在 380 到 750 纳米之间的电磁辐射是人眼可见的,称为可见光。如果把电磁辐射分成光谱,按波长排列所有不同种类的辐射,并绘制出每个波长区域内到达我们的辐射量,那么光谱中介于 380 纳米和 750 纳米之间的部分就是可见光谱。从波长最短到最长,我们可以看到紫光、靛蓝光、蓝光、绿光、黄光、橙光和红光,它们连续排列在一起--这就是彩虹的颜色,大自然通过太阳光在小水滴中的折射,形成了这样的光谱组成。

The Pillars of Creation in comparison

图注: The 'Pillars of Creation' are a renowned astronomical feature situated within the Eagle Nebula in the Serpens constellation. The illustration provides a direct comparison between images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), showcasing the pillars, which span several light years in diameter, in both visible light (also known as optical light) and infrared light. On the left are the pillars as seen by Hubble in visual light, taken in 2014. It displays dark pillars against an opaque background, with only a handful of visible stars. Conversely, the counterpart on the right is Webb’s near-infrared view published in 2022, penetrating the dust and revealing numerous stars of varying sizes. Their distance from Earth is approximately 6,500 to 7,000 light years. Within these pillars, new stars are constantly forming, making them a subject of extensive study by astronomers. Composed mostly of cool molecular hydrogen and small amounts of interstellar dust, they are subject to erosion by the intense ultraviolet radiation emitted by nearby massive and newborn stars, a process known as photoevaporation.
