5,000 light-year-old nebula photographs in UAE: First for Amerati astronomers. world News

In a notable astronomical achievement, the astronomers of the Emirates Astronomy Society (EAS) have captured the breathtaking images of the nebula away from the UAE sky. The phenomenon was seen in the eastern mountainous regions of the country, which offers a rare and amazing view of the Crescent Nebula, which is an object located thousands of light years from the Earth.What was seen: Crescent NebulaThe astronomical object is a Crescent Nebula, scientifically nominated as NGC 6888 and is also known as Caldwell 27-Sharpless 105. It is located in the surprising emission Nebula Cyneas Nakshatra, which is about 5,000 light-year away from the Earth.According to a member of the Emirates Astronomy Society and a astronomical photographer Tamim Al Tamimi, Nebula was not only seen, but also photographed in high resolution, which gave a vivid glimpse in a deep place from the UAE.

The origin of Nebula is associated with a dramatic cosmic event that includes a dying star. Ibrahim Al Jarwan, president of the Emirates Astronomy Society, informed WAM (Emirates News Agency) about the formation process in a statement.He said Crescent Nebula was created by a Wolf-Rayet Star by strong stellar winds, known as WR136, collided with the first extracted material during his red spacious phase. The result is a huge shiny bubble of gas made from large -scale ionized hydrogen and oxygen.Al Jarwan said, “This large gas bubble of ionized hydrogen and oxygen is formed and appears in fine detail using narrow-field techniques.”

Stunning images were the result of observation over 10 hours, using special filters, H-Alpha and O3, which help to separate the specific wavelengths of light emitted by the chemical elements of the nebula. The data was then processed using scientific color mode (H-alpha, OIII, OIII) scientific color mode to clearly reveal the chemical structures within the nebula.These wide images required a combination of advanced tools and careful plans to capture these wide images. The setup includes:

Overview and photography of such a distant and complex deep sky object underlines the dedication and technical expertise of the UAE’s growing astronomy community.Al Jarwan emphasized that this achievement reflects the flexibility of Amirti astronomy, who continue their work despite harsh environmental conditions. “Night-time temperature during the photographing period sometimes reaches between 36 and 40 ° C in mountainous or desert areas,” he said.This glance not only displays the beauty of the space, but also keeps the UAE as an emerging center for severe astronomical observation and documentation, especially in areas not traditionally associated with deep-skai astrophotography.
