DescriptionEso1435a.jpg |
English: This artist’s view from an imagined planet around a nearby star shows the brilliant glow of exozodiacal light extending up into the sky and swamping the Milky Way. This light is starlight reflected from hot dust created as the result of collisions between asteroids, and the evaporation of comets. The presence of such thick dust clouds in the inner regions around some stars may pose an obstacle to the direct imaging of Earth-like planets in the future.
Français : Cette vue d'artiste d'une planète imaginaire en orbite autour d'une étoile proche montre l'intense lueur de la lumière exozodiacale emplissant le ciel et masquant en partie la Voie Lactée. Cette lumière n'est autre en réalité que la lumière stellaire réfléchie par de la poussière chaude résultant, d'une part de collisions entre astéroïdes, d'autre part de l'évaporation de comètes. L'existence de ces épais nuages de poussière à proximité de certaines étoiles est susceptible de constituer un obstacle à l'imagerie directe de planètes de type Terre dans le futur. |
