Con un clip de Instagram yel hashtag#StarTrek50, la NASA record el medio siglo que la famosa serie Viaje a las estrellas acaba de cumplir. Para la agencia espacial este hecho no pas desapercibido y le dedic un espacio en sus redes sociales.
Est escrito en las estrellas o en este caso, en una formacin deestrellas. Para el #StarTrek50, te presentamos la nebulosaEnterprise., seala la NASA en su publicacin popular de Instagram.
Its written in the stars or in this case a star forming region. For #StarTrek50, we present to you the Enterprise Nebulae. On the right of the image, you may see hints of the saucer and hull of the original USS Enterprise, captained by James T. Kirk, as if it were emerging from a dark nebula. To the left, its Next Generation successor, Jean-Luc Picards Enterprise-D, flies off in the opposite direction. Astronomically speaking, the region pictured in the image falls within the disk of our Milky Way galaxy and displays two regions of star formation hidden behind a haze of dust when viewed in visible light. Spitzers ability to peer deeper into dust clouds has revealed a myriad of stellar birthplaces like these, which are officially known only by their catalog numbers, IRAS 19340+2016 and IRAS19343+2026. Trekkies, however, may prefer using the more familiar designations NCC-1701 and NCC-1701-D. Fifty years after its inception, Star Trek still inspires fans and astronomers alike to boldly explore where no one has gone before.
