| Description |
English: This artist’s impression shows the free-floating planet CFBDSIR J214947.2-040308.9. This is the closest such object to the Solar System. It does not orbit a star and hence does not shine by reflected light; the faint glow it emits can only be detected in infrared light. Here we see an artist’s impression of an infrared view of the object with an image of the central parts of the Milky Way from the VISTA infrared survey telescope in the background. The object appears blueish in this near-infrared view because much of the light at longer infrared wavelengths is absorbed by methane and other molecules in the planet's atmosphere. In visible light the object is so cool that it would only shine dimly with a deep red colour when seen close-up. Deutsch: Diese künstlerische Darstellung zeigt den frei beweglichen Planeten CFBDSIR J214947.2-040308.9 – das unserem Sonnensystem nächste derartige Objekt. Der Himmelskörper befindet sich nicht in einer Umlaufbahn um einen Stern und reflektiert daher auch kein Sternlicht. Sein schwaches Leuchten kann nur als Wärmestrahlung nachgewiesen werden. Diese Abbildung zeigt eine künstlerische Ansicht des Objekts vor dem Hintergrund einer Aufnahme des Zentralbereichs der Milchstraße, die das VISTA-Infrarot-Durchmusterungsteleskop geliefert hat. |
