Description
English: This picture shows Barnard 59, part of a vast dark cloud of interstellar dust called the Pipe Nebula. This new and very detailed image of what is known as a dark nebula was captured by the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at ESO’s La Silla Observatory. Scale is roughly 6 arcminutes per side.
Deutsch: Dieses Bild zeigt Barnard 59, einen Teil der als Pfeifennebel bekannten, ausgedehnten interstellaren Dunkelwolke. Es wurde mit dem Wide Field Imager am MPG/ESO 2,2-Meter-Teleskop am La Silla-Observatorium der ESO aufgenommen und ist so groß, dass man die skalierbare Version verwenden sollte, um alle Details zu genießen.
Italiano: Questa immagine mostra Barnard 59, parte di una vasta nube oscura di polvere interstellare nota come Nebulosa Pipa. Questa nuova immagine molto dettagliata di una nebulosa oscura è stata ottenuta dal WFI (Wide Field Imager) montato sul telescopio da 2,2 metri all'Osservatorio di La Silla dell'ESO. Questa immagine è così grande che si consiglia di usare la versione con ingrandimento per meglio apprezzarla nella sua interezza.
