A 4000 anni luce da noi, in una zona nella costellazione di Ara (emisfero Australe), si trova una nebulosa a emissione, piena di stelle in formazione e polveri che sembrano dar vita alla figura di due dragoni cosmici con il loro uovo (più in basso). L'esplosione di una supernova, avvenuta milioni di anni fa, ha scolpito queste forme nell'universo, dove i draghi paiono combattere in un duello sospeso nel tempo. Questa nebulosa è in realtà una vasta nube di idrogeno e polveri, continuamente illuminata dall'energia delle giovani stelle che nascono al suo interno. I dragoni che noi vediamo sono in verità intrecci di gas e polveri, strutture che assorbono e diffondono la luce delle stelle vicine. Qui la scala del tempo si ribalta: stelle di pochi milioni di anni sono considerate appena nate paragonate al nostro Sole con i suoi 4,6 miliardi di anni. Ogni filamento e ogni nube che vediamo è il riflesso di equilibri delicatissimi: gravità, radiazione, turbolenze. Ciò che appare come arte cosmica è in realtà la cronaca silenziosa della nascita e della morte delle stelle. Lì dove la materia costruisce mondi futuri, la nostra immaginazione disegna draghi che custodiscono il loro mistero. Questa fotografia, una panoramica ottenuta da due pannelli fatti tra Maggio e Luglio 2025 con 68,5 ore complessive di integrazione e con il nostro PlaneWave DeltaRho 350 montato su una iOptron CEM 120 usando come camera la ZWO ASI 6200MM. Saluti, Alex e Luca
