[edit]DescriptionThe location of Proxima Centauri in the southern skies.tif |
Afrikaans: Hierdie saamgestelde prent kombineer 'n uitsig op die suidelike hemelruim oor die ESO 3,6-meter teleskoop by die La Silla-sterrewag in Chili met beelde van onderskeidelik die dubbelster Alpha Centauri AB (links onder) en die ster Proxima Centauri (regs onder) wat deur NASA/ESA se Hubble-ruimteteleskoop verkry is. Proxima Centauri is die naaste ster aan die Sonnestelsel en word deur planeet Proxima b omwentel, wat juis met die HARPS-instrument op die ESO 3,6-meter teleskoop ontdek is.
English: This picture combines a view of the southern skies over the ESO 3.6-metre telescope at the La Silla Observatory in Chile with images of the stars Proxima Centauri (lower-right) and the double star Alpha Centauri AB (lower-left) from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the Solar System and is orbited by the planet Proxima b, which was discovered using the HARPS instrument on the ESO 3.6-metre telescope.
Español: Esta imagen combina una visión de los cielos del sur sobre el Telescopio de 3,6 metros de ESO, en el Observatorio La Silla (Chile), con imágenes de las estrellas Próxima Centauri (inferior derecha) y la estrella doble Alfa Centauri AB (abajo a la izquierda) tomadas con el telescopio espacial Hubble de NASA/ESA. Próxima Centauri es la estrella más cercana al Sistema Solar y tiene en órbita al planeta Próxima b, que fue descubierto usando el instrumento HARPS, instalado en el Telescopio de 3,6 metros de ESO. |
