Paris (AFP) - The known Universe just got a lot bigger.
A new map
of the night sky published Tuesday charts hundreds of thousands of previously
unknown galaxies discovered using a telescope that can detect light sources
optical instruments cannot see.
The
international team behind the unprecedented space survey said their discovery
literally shed new light on some of the Universe's deepest secrets, including
the physics of black holes and how clusters of galaxies evolve.
"This
is a new window on the universe," Cyril Tasse, an astronomer at the Paris
Observatory who was involved in the project, told AFP.
"When
we saw the first images we were like: 'What is this?!' It didn't look anything
at all like what we are used to seeing."
More than
200 astronomers from 18 countries were involved in the study, which used radio
astronomy to look at a segment of sky over the northern hemisphere, and found
300,000 previously unseen light sources thought to be distant galaxies.
Radio
astronomy allows scientists to detect radiation produced when massive celestial
objects interact.
The team
used the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) telescope in the Netherlands to pick up
traces -- or "jets" -- of ancient radiation produced when galaxies
merge. These jets, previously undetected, can extend over millions of light
years.
"With
radio observations we can detect radiation from the tenuous medium that exists
between galaxies," said Amanda Wilber, of the University of Hamburg.
"LOFAR
allows us to detect many more of these sources and understand what is powering
them."
The
discovery of the new light sources may also help scientists better understand
the behaviour of one of space's most enigmatic phenomena.
Black holes
-- which have a gravitational pull so strong that no matter can escape them --
emit radiation when they engulf other high-mass objects such as stars and gas
clouds.
Tasse said
the new observation technique would allow astronomers to compare black holes
over time to see how they form and develop.
"If
you look at an active black hole, the jets (of radiation) disappear after
millions of years, and you won't see them at a higher frequency (of
light)," he said.
"But
at a lower frequency they continue to emit these jets for hundreds of millions
of years, so we can see far older electrons."
'Universe's oldest objects'
The Hubble
telescope has produced images that lead scientists to believe there are more
than 100 billion galaxies in the Universe, although many are too old and
distant to be observed using traditional detection techniques.
The map
created by the LOFAR observations, part of which was published in the journal
Astronomy & Astrophysics, contains data equivalent to ten million DVDs yet
charts just two percent of the sky.
The LOFAR
telescope is made up of a Europe-wide network of radio antenna across seven countries,
forming the equivalent of a 1,300-kilometre (800-mile) diameter satellite dish.
The team
plans to create high-resolution images of the entire northern sky, which they
say will reveal as many as 15 million as-yet undetected radio sources.
"The
oldest objects in the Universe are around 11-12 billion light years old,"
said Tasse. "So we are going to see lots more of these objects."

“… The entire galaxy revolves as one plate, in a very counter-intuitive way. The stars and the constellations do not orbit within the rules of Newtonian physics that you are used to seeing all around you in your own solar system. For the stars and clusters in your galaxy, distance from the center does not matter. All the stars rotate as one. This is because the galaxy is entangled with the middle of itself. In that state, there is no time or distance. The change of consciousness on this planet has changed the center of the galaxy. This is because what happens here, dear one, is "known" by the center.
It's interesting to us what your reaction to all this is scientifically. You saw that the "creative event" of your Universe is missing some energy in order for it to have formed as it did. In addition, the unusual way the galaxy rotates, as I just stated, was also noted. So you have calculated that for all this to be in place, there has to be missing 3D matter, and you have given it a name - dark matter. How funny! Did you ever think that there could be a multidimensional effect going on that you now can observe and calculate - that has immense power, but can't be seen? It's not "matter" at all and it's not 3D. It's quantum energy.
Let me tell you something about physics. Yet again, I'll make it simple. Everything your scientists have seen in physics happens in pairs. At the moment, there are four laws of physics in your three-dimensional paradigm. They represent two pairs of energy types. Eventually, there will be six. At the center of your galaxy is what you call a black hole, but it is not a single thing. It is a duality. There is no such thing as "singularity". You might say it's one energy with two parts - a weak and a strong quantum force. And the strangest thing is it knows who you are. It is the creator engine. It's different in other galaxies than this one. It's unique.
The very physics of your galaxy is postured by what you do here. The astronomers can look into the cosmos and they will discover different physics in different galaxies. Could it be that there's something going on in the other galaxies like this one? I'm not going to answer that. … “
