| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] On October 31, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) presented an image of a nebula dubbed the Dark Wolf Nebula because its silhouette resembles the figure of a predator. This was reported on the institution's portal. The nebula was discovered in the constellation Scorpius and is located approximately 5,300 light years from Earth. It is noted that it is actually part of an even larger nebula called Gum 55. Its image was obtained using the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile. The picture was made up of images taken at different times, each of which was equipped with a filter that passed a different color. In total, about 500 million Milky Way objects were examined during the photometric study. Nebulae are cold cosmic clouds that absorb visible light and allow only long-wavelength radiation to pass through. These objects are of interest to astronomers because they are often the birthplace of forming stars. On July 13, Regnum News Agency reported that NASA's James Webb telescope captured two galaxies, NGC 2936 and NGC 2937, which together form a figure resembling a penguin with an egg. It is noted that the "egg" and "penguin" have been approaching each other for tens of millions of years and will eventually merge into one galaxy. |

| #1 "Wolf"? I've noticed astronomers seem to have vivid imaginations. |
