Apparent disappearance in WISE 4

• by terry.nycum

  Is the fact that it appears not to emit at 22 µm just an artifact of the intensity of the nebula (?) so close to it, to its lower right? (E.g. does it just get drowned due to adjustment of the dynamic range by the telescope or something?) I see that the haze (and core to a lesser extent) of the nebula (?) appear to extend toward it more than in other directions, which is leading me to wonder.

  exactly, due to dynamic range and poor resolution at 22µm.
