DESI Map !

A slice of the 3D map of galaxies collected in the first year of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Survey. Earth is at the tip, with the furthest galaxies plotted at distances of 11 billion light-years. Each point represents one galaxy.

This version of the DESI map includes 600,000 galaxies — less than 0.1% of the survey's full volume.

The World's Biggest Digital Camera Is Finally Complete

Nine years and 3.2 billion pixels later, it is complete: the LSST Camera stands as the largest digital camera ever built for astronomy and will serve as the centerpiece of the Vera Rubin Observatory, poised to begin its exploration of the southern skies. Giancarlo Esposito on Having His Own Action Figures The Rubin Observatory’s key goal is the 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), a…

Encontraron la ráfaga de rayos gamma más poderosa del universo

Radioastronomía

En las primeras horas de la mañana de hoy, 14 de octubre de 2022, los astrónomos que utilizan el telescopio Gemini Sur en Chile operado por NOIRLab de NSF observaron las consecuencias sin precedentes de una de las explosiones más poderosas jamás registradas, Gamma-Ray Burst GRB221009A. Este evento récord, que fue detectado por primera vez el 9 de octubre de 2022 por telescopios de rayos X y rayos…

This image made available by NOIRLab shows a plume of dust and debris blasted from the surface of the asteroid Dimorphos by NASA's DART spacecraft after it impacted on Sept. 26, 2022, captured by the U.S. National Science Foundation's NOIRLab's SOAR telescope in Chile. The expanding, comet-like tail is more than 6,000 miles (10,000 kilometers) long. (Teddy Kareta, Matthew Knight/NOIRLab via AP)

Filaments of the Vela Supernova Remnant Image Credit: CTIO, NOIRLab, DOE, NSF, AURA; Processing: T. A. Rector (U. Alaska Anchorage), M. Zamani & D. de Martin (’s NOIRLab)

Explanation: The explosion is over, but the consequences continue. About eleven thousand years ago, a star in the constellation of Vela could be seen to explode, creating a strange point of light briefly visible to humans living near the beginning of recorded history. The outer layers of the star crashed into the interstellar medium, driving a shock wave that is still visible today. The featured image captures some of that filamentary and gigantic shock in visible light. As gas flies away from the detonated star, it decays and reacts with the interstellar medium, producing light in many different colors and energy bands. Remaining at the center of the Vela Supernova Remnant is a pulsar, a star as dense as nuclear matter that spins around more than ten times in a single second.

A galactic photo shoot has captured more than 3 billion stars and galaxies in one of the biggest sky surveys ever.

Survey was made by The National Science Foundation’s NOIRLab.

This latest survey now covers 6.5% of the night sky, according to the researchers.

With hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way, the cosmic catalog is certain to grow.
