This page describes an image Witnessing the birth of a star
Image caption:
A combination of radio and visible light imaged with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and European Southern Observatory's New Technology Telescope (NTT) revealing birth of a star forming the Herbig-Haro object HH 46/47. ALMA observations shown in orange and green unveil the energetic jet from the central protostar otherwise hidden at visible wavelength due to dust obscuration and dense gas. NTT observations in pink and purple highlight the visible light from the jet emitted towards the observer.

Image caption: Una combinazione di luce radio e visibile ripresa dall'Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) e dal New Technology Telescope (NTT) dell'European Southern Observatory rivela la nascita di una stella che sta formando l'oggetto Herbig-Haro HH 46/47. Le osservazioni ALMA in arancione e verde svelano il getto d'energia della proto-stella centrale, altrimenti nascosto alla lunghezza d'onda visibile a causa dell'oscuramento della polvere e del gas denso. Le osservazioni NTT in rosa e viola evidenziano la luce visibile del getto, emessa in direzione dell'osservatore.

Image caption: 阿塔卡马大毫米波/亚毫米波阵列（ALMA）和欧洲南方天文台新技术望远镜（NTT）拍摄的射电和可见光组合图像，揭示了赫比格-哈罗天体 HH 46/47 中一颗恒星的诞生过程。橙色和绿色的 ALMA 数据揭示了来自中央原恒星的高能喷流，由于尘埃遮挡和高密度气体的存在，该喷流在可见光波段被掩盖。粉色和紫色的 NTT 数据突出显示了喷流向观测者发射的可见光。
