Description


The Double Helix Nebula is a gaseous nebula near the center of our galaxy. It is thought to have been distorted by magnetic torsion into the shape of two connected spirals, known popularly as a double helix, akin to the shape of DNA. The nebula was discovered by the Spitzer Space Telescope. The segment seen so far is thought to be 80 light years long, 300 light years from the supermassive black hole thought to be at the galaxy's center, and 25,000 light years from Earth. This nebula is seen as circumstantial evidence that the magnetic fields at the center of the galaxy are extremely strong, more than 1,000 times stronger than those of the Sun. If so, they may be driven by the massive disc of gas orbiting the central supermassive black hole. The Double Helix Nebula should not be confused with the Helix Nebula, a planetary nebula only 650 light years from Earth. ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ Le Nébuleuse Double Helix est une nébuleuse gazeuse près du centre de notre galaxie. On pense avoir été déformé par torsion magnétique dans la forme de deux spirales connectés, connus populairement comme une double hélice, qui se apparente à la forme de l'ADN. La nébuleuse a été découverte par le télescope spatial Spitzer. Le segment vu jusqu'ici est pensé pour être 80 années-lumière de long, 300 années-lumière du trou noir supermassif pensé pour être au centre de la galaxie, et 25 000 années-lumière de la Terre. Cette nébuleuse est considéré comme une preuve circonstancielle que les champs magnétiques au centre de la galaxie sont extrêmement forts, plus de 1000 fois plus forts que celles du Soleil Si oui, ils peuvent être entraînés par le disque massive de gaz en orbite autour du trou noir supermassif central. Le Nébuleuse Double Helix ne doit pas être confondu avec le Helix Nebula, une nébuleuse planétaire à seulement 650 années-lumière de la Terre. _______________________________________________
