New images shed light from millions of stars and galaxies in observations that take only 10 hours in the world.
The camera should show new space from an unprecedented scale / Photo NSF-Doe Vera C Rubin ObservatoryStunning images showing the most remote parts of the universe, including an area located in thousands of light years from Earth, were made with a new powerful telescope. Sky News writes about it.
The camera at the VERA C Rubin Observatory should show new parts from space on an unprecedented scale, as it will follow further observations over the next decade.
Scientists think that it will be possible to apply thousands of previously not identified asteroids on the map, and believe that for several months it will find whether there is a ninth planet in our solar system.
It is important that new images shed light from millions of stars and galaxies in observations that take only 10 hours in the world.
One image shows the mosaic of the nebulae three and lagoon, the area of star formation, which is located 9,000 light years from the ground (this is the distance that lights in 12 months).
Interestingly, the other image shows thousands of galaxies in the cluster of the Virgin, which, according to scientists, gives a new “view of space”.
The Observatory is jointly funded by the National Scientific Fund, an independent US Government Agency. The head of the Brian Stone Foundation said she “collect more information about our universe than all optical telescopes in history.”
The observatory was built on a mountain in the Andes, a region in the central part of Chile, which also houses other observatories through dry air and dark sky. According to astronomers, the work of the telescope will “shoot space in the smallest details”, as it will repeatedly scan the sky for 10 years to “create a excessive, high -high corporal recording of our universe.”
Scientists in the United Kingdom will work in partnership with other teams to help work out detailed information and images obtained by the telescope.
News about the study of spaceRecently, NASA satellites have recorded a large mass of marine inhabitants near the southern coast of Australia. This indicates a large -scale phenomenon of bioluminescent phytoplankton.
An unusual turquoise glow was revealed, which blooms throughout the waters of the Great Australian Gulf and the Tasman Sea. NASA described it as “flowering of phytoplankton”. This phenomenon was visible from orbit through modern image sensors.
