The largest infrared map of the Milky Way Galaxy is ready for video – Space and Astronomy

Date:

More than 1.5 billion objects between Neonatal location, Wandering planets e Dust clouds: It’s ready The largest infrared map of the Milky Way ever createdA, result 13 years of work And beyond 200,000 rounds. A bulletin The journal Astronomy and Astrophysics is the European Southern Observatory (Eso). The map is the result of a project led by Dante Minetti, an astronomer at the Andres Bello University in Chile, and in which Italy participates with researchers from the National Institute of Astrophysics in Rome, Bologna, Naples, Padua and the University of Ferrara.

fruit The largest monitoring project ever undertaken within ESOThis is thanks to the infrared camera installed on the telescope Vista (Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy) In Chile, research has highlighted this Many things are invisible in normal light. Infrared actually They can penetrate dust and gas that permeates the galaxy.

Thus billions of invisible things appeared, including… Newborn stars are still covered in dust, Spherical clusters, Nanny Bron Where nuclear reactions are almost absent e Wandering planets Which no longer revolves around its star. ““We have made many discoveries that have changed our view of our galaxy forever.”“Minetti said.

the Notes I am Started in 2010 And yes they are Expires in the first half of 2023. By analyzing each part of the sky several times, it was possible to determine the locations of each object, and track its movements and changes in brightness. Subo is also identified on the stars used as ‘Universal rulers‘ to select a 3D map and also detect its presence Ultrafast starsIt was ejected from the interior of the Milky Way when it approached the black hole at the center of our galaxy.
