Forte Petrazza di Messina inaugurated the new telescope of the Astronomical Observatory on 10 August, created by the Messina Foundation in collaboration with the Messina Astrophils Group. Today, September 25, the first long -term official image arrives: the nebulae nebula (M27).
Located in the constellation of the fox, at a distance of about 1,200-1.360 light years From the earth, it is a planetary nebula formed by the gaseous layers expelled by a star similar to the sun and illuminated by its residual nucleus, a white dwarf. The blue and reddish colors derive from ionized gases that make up this spectacular cosmic structure.
A shot that represents an important step in the scientific activity of the new telescope, enclosing the meeting between technology, research and passion in an image.
