Scientists have revealed the largest map of the universe that was created ever. It extends across a small slice of area and almost all cosmic time, and includes approximately 800,000 galaxies filmed across the universe. Some of them are so far away that they appear because they were present in the infants, about 13 billion years ago.
The map, which was released on Thursday (5 June) by scientists in the Cosmic Survey of Evolution, covers a 0.54 -degree arch from the sky, or about three times the area that the moon occupies when displayed from Earth.
To collect map data, James Web telescope for space (JWST) spent 255 hours to monitor an area of the nickname The universe field. This correction from the sky contains a very few stars, gas clouds, or other features that prevent our view of the deep universe, so scientists have wiped it with telescopes through the largest possible number of wavelengths of light.
JWST’s notes on the Cosmos field have given us an incredibly detailed look to the universe of 13.5 billion years.
Since the universe was expanding, the visible light that left its source on the other side of the universe was extended, so that the light with infrared. That is why JWST was designed to be a very sensitive infrared telescope: to detect these extended signals from the beginning of time that we could not see with other telescopes. It is indeed the reshaping of our understanding of how the universe is formed.
“Since the telescope was operated, we were wondering,” Are these these JWST data sets? Breaking the cosmic model?“ Ketlin CaseyProfessor of Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara and participated in the Cosmos Project, in A. statement. “The big surprise is that with JWST, we see approximately 10 times the galaxies more than expected in these amazing distances. We also see super high holes that do not even appear with Hubble.”
The initial data of the Cosmos field notes was available to the public after collecting it by JWST, but it was not easy to access. Raw data from telescopes such as JWST should be processed by people with appropriate technical knowledge and access to strong computers.
Cosmos collaborating two years spent the creation of the map from the raw JWST data to make it easier for amateur astronomers, university researchers and the general public in the heart of the universe. You can see it yourself using the universe Reactive map.
