by The most powerful digital camera ever built has published its first pictures of the universe.
Beautiful galaxies shine in the pictures that show a huge image of colorful fogs and stars.
They come from Vera C Rubin Observatory, which hopes to continuously monitor the night sky in order to better understand the universe and its processes. When scientists observe all the time, hope that they can be able to create something like re -rewind video of the cosmos.
Scientists hope that it can be used at some point to better understand asteroids, the nature of mysterious dark matter and much more. It has its name from the astronomer, the work of which offered the first indications of the existence of the dark matter.
However, the first pictures should show the profound details of the pictures. The camera has 3,200 megapixels – about 70 times the latest iPhone – and it is precisely enough to show a golf ball on the moon.
Scientists hope that the detail enables them to fit deep into the universe.
“The beautiful galaxies in the foreground of this picture all live in our immediate cosmic neighborhood,” said Benjamin Joachimi from the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the UCL.
“We are much more happy about the many modest little light blobs that fill the background: Most of them are also galaxies, only much further away from the earth. Together they draw the large -scale distribution of matter in the universe, which is shaped by the properties of dark matter and dark energy.”
