This page describes an image A gravitational lens magnifies one of the first stars

Download File ( image 6.12 MB)

Image caption: This image zooms in on a star formed within the first billion years after the birth of the Universe (at a redshift of 6.2). The Hubble Space Telescope detected this light using a technique called gravitational lensing. A massive galaxy cluster between the observer and the imaged star creates a distorted and warped image of the parent galaxy and reveals its features.

Image caption: تُظهر هذه الصورة تكبير نجم تشكل خلال المليار سنة الأولى بعد ولادة الكون (عند انزياح نحو الاحمر مقداره 6.2). اكتشف تلسكوب هابل الفضائي هذا الضوء باستخدام تقنية تسمى عدسة الجاذبية. يُكون عنقود مجري ضخم بين الراصد والنجم المرصود صورة مشوهة ومعوجة للمجرة الأم ويكشف عن معالمها.

Image caption: Questa immagine ingrandisce una stella che si é formata nel primo miliardo di anni dopo la nascita dell'Universo (a un redshift di 6,2). Il telescopio spaziale Hubble ha rilevato questa luce grazie ad un fenomeno definito come lente gravitazionale. Un massiccio ammasso di galassie posto tra l'osservatore e la stella fotografata crea un'immagine distorta e deformata della galassia madre e ne rivela le caratteristiche.

Image caption: 这幅图像放大了一颗在宇宙诞生后最初十亿年内形成的恒星(红移为 6.2)。哈勃太空望远镜利用一种叫做引力透镜的技术探测到了这道光。在观测者和被成像的恒星之间有一个巨大的星系团,这就导致了母星系扭曲变形的图像,并揭示了它的特征。
