As if it were a giant beacon.. taking a picture of a dark body 7 light years long

The European Southern Observatory (ESO) recently captured a dark cosmic nebula 7 light-years across.

According to what was mentioned by the “Science Alert” website, the giant nebula looks like a giant beacon observing the cold black void from space, or as a giant looking for planets to devour.

The site indicated that “the new image was taken from the European Observatory’s large telescope to celebrate the 60th anniversary of its founding, and the strange subject of the image is the conical nebula, which is part of a larger nebula 2,500 light-years from Earth called “NGC 2264” in the constellation Monoceros.

This pale nebula does not look like most other glowing nebulae with the complex array of colors that telescopes are accustomed to detecting.

This indicates that not all nebulae are the same, as some reflect light from nearby stars, while others produce their own light.

Some, like the Cone Nebula, are dark and thick of dust that absorbs visible light, as light of wavelengths invisible to the human eye, such as infrared and radio, can pass through. (Arabic)
