Astronomers Give An Overview With The Largest Digital Survey Of The Universe
- comments
Scientist can't even tell what's the outside of Universe and doesn't see the space entirely. But Astronomers launched their largest digital survey of the cosmos and give a glimpse sight of its epic data of astronomical objects that took them long to construct it.
According to Science Alert, The Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System have released their project who took almost a million of compound pictures. The overview was seen from Hawaii and researchers have started to free download it to the people who want to witness the discovery in their home.
Upon allowing to observe the images they've to download the Director of Pan-STARR, Ken Chambers stated that students, their co-researcher, and subscribers must set this discovery and influence them to make another breakthrough.
The achievement of Pan-STARR projects was not done once but there's a lot more.In fact, they made a spectacular discovery, such as Kuiper Belt objects, near-Earth objects, planets between stars and the latest types of exploding stars and quasars, according to Itech Post.
Using the advanced technology, Pan-STARR began to survey the Universe in their telescope provided with a 1.4-gigapixel digital camera that can record almost 1.4 billion pixels per image. With this device, each picture apprehend was covered the sky about 36 times the space of the Moon as seen from the Earth.
The scientist said that the new pictures were taken every 30 seconds for four years which measure the image over 2 gigabytes and add up to 2 petabytes. This sound amazing but the most breathtaking abundant of astronomical phenomena it includes.
There are 10 research institutions in four countries that were assisted by NASA and the US National Science Foundation that worked for the Pan-STARRS program. This is not the end of more discoveries by Astronomers and might discover more that can answer the questions of the world.
