Camera Points At Billion Light Years Away Video

A new Camera, equipped to look into Deep Space in an effort  to find out find more about Dark Energy.

This powerful Camera is in a high Plateau in Chile.

‘The most powerful sky-mapping instrument ever built is about to embark on a far-reaching survey of deepest space to find evidence of the theoretical force called Dark Energy. From a high plateau in Chile, the Dark Energy Camera is being pointed billions of light years into the cosmos in an effort by astronomers to answer questions about Dark Energy’s influence over the expansion of our universe. Elly Park reports.’

 

 

New 3-D Map of the Universe.

Astronomers have created the most complete 3-D map of our local universe, revealing new details about our place in the cosmos. The map shows all visible structures out to about 380 million light-years, which includes about 45,000 of our neighboring galaxies (the diameter of the Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years across).

The Triangulam Galxy.

 

The Triangulum Galaxy is located nearly 3 million light years from Earth. And, in a study that pushes the limits of observations currently possible from Earth, a team of NASA and European scientists recorded the “fingerprints” of mystery molecules in the Triangulum Galaxy, as well as the Andromeda Galaxy.

Figuring out exactly which molecules are leaving these clues, known as “diffuse interstellar bands” (DIBs), is a puzzle that initially seemed straightforward but has gone unsolved for nearly a hundred years. The answer is expected to help explain how stars, planets and life form.
