A new Chilean telescope has released its first images, shows the unprecedented ability to go to the dark depths of the universe.
In a picture, a wide colored gas and dust clouds on the edge of the ice on the floor with 9,000 light light.
Vera C Rubin Observatory, in the house of the world’s most powerful digital camera, promises to transform the understanding of the universe.
If the ninth planet is in our solar system, scientists say this telescope will meet in his first year.
The asteroid killer should detect on the striking distance of the Earth and map the Milky Way. It will also answer important questions about the dark subject about the mysterious substances that make up most of our universes.
This moment of the provisional generation for astronomy is the beginning of a 10-year monitoring of the southern night sky.
“I have been in person for about 25 years. We wanted to build this phenomenave installation for decades and do this type of survey, Catherine Heymans teachers, astronomer Royms.
The UK survey is a key pair and will host data centers to process specific photo photos to throw the skies that catch everything in its path.
Vera Rubin could increase the number of known objects in our solar system.
BBC News visited Vera Rubin Observatory before releasing images.
It is located in Cerro Pachón, which includes various observatories on private lands in Space research on Mount Chile.
Very high, very dry and very dark. The perfect location is to see the stars.
Maintaining this darkness is the sacrosper. The busy road busy road must be made up and down to be careful, as there should not be lanterns full rays.
The interior of the observatory is not different.
There is a complete engineering unit to ensure the dome that surrounds the telescope that opens in the night sky. To turn off LEDs or other bright lights that could be interfered with astronomical light that is being caught from the night sky.
The starlun is “enough” to navigate, explaining the scientist of Multina Urbach.
One of the great objectives of the observatory is, “Understanding the History of the Universe”, “Millions of years ago will be able to see the explosion of the galaxy or supernova occurred years ago.”
“So we need very sharp images,” says Elana.
Each detailed detail of the observatory shows similar precision.
That achieves three of the unique mirror designs. The light enters the telescope in the night sky, the primary mirror (8.4 million diameter) reflects the secondary mirror (3.4 m) before his camera enters the third mirror (4.8 million).
Mirrors must be kept in a wonderful situation. A dust speck can also change the quality of the image.
The high reflection and speed of this allows telescopes, Guillem Megsas, an active optics to be an expert in the observision.
The internal camera of the telescope will repeatedly take the night sky for ten years, every three days to survey the space and time heritage.
It weighs 2.65mx in 3m 2,800kg and offers a wide area of view.
A picture will catch approximately 40 seconds, about 8-12 hours night, thanks to the fast repressing a moving dome and a telescope.
It has 3,200 megapixels (67 times more than 67 times on the iPhone Pro camera) that could capture a golf ball on a high-resolution moon and show a single image for 400 TV screenshots.
“When we got the first picture here, it was a special moment,” Megas said.
“When I started working with this project, I got to know someone who has been working since 1996. I was born in 1997. He realizes that it is the effort of a generation of astronomers.”
It will go down to hundreds of scientists around the world to study the current data alert, as it will be about 10 million nights.
The survey will operate in four areas: skies or transient objects, forming a milky path, map the solar system and understanding the dark matter or understanding how the universe is formed.
But his greatest power lies in his constant. He will repeatedly investigate the same sites, and each time it detects a change, he will warn the scientists.
“This transient side is the only thing … It has the power to show something before we thought,” Heymens Prof.
But it protects us, identifying dangerous objects that had been suddenly worn in the ground, asteroids like YR4, the beginning of early this year to break the scientists to our plans.
The very large camera mirrors will help scientists perceive the weakest lights and distortions that emit the emissions of these objects and continue as a speed through space.
“It is a transformer. It will be the largest data set that we had to look at our galaxy. He will fuel what we do for many years,” says Alis Daille at Durham University.
The images will receive the stars to how far they reach milk.
Most star data return about 163,000 light years, but Vera Rubin can take 1.2 million years.
Prof Doneson also expects to see the tomb of the stars destroyed by Stellar Halo, but also small surviving satellite galaxies, but they are very weak and found.
Tantally, Vera Rubin is thought to be strong enough to solve the long-time mystery about the existence of the nine planet of our solar system.
This object could be as far as the distance between the Earth and the Sun was as far away as 700 times, available to some other land telescopes.
“We need a lot of time to understand how this new beautiful observatory works. But I’m ready for that,” says heymans teachers.
