LOS ANGELES - Sinauw, NASA has released a collection of maps of the universe that allows the scientists and the general public to see millions of galaxies, stars, asteroids and other objects.
Katalog jagat raya itu dirilis secara online pekan lalu dan sebagian besar telah dipublikasi oleh NASA. Catalog universe was released online last week and most have been published by NASA. Masyarakat yang memiliki akses internet bisa mengunduh peta jagat raya tersebut. Communities that have internet access can download the map of the universe is.
Dari kumpulan peta jagat raya yang diambil melalui teleskop NASA itu, ada penemuan baru yang mencuri perhatian publik. From a collection of maps of the universe captured by NASA telescope, there is a new discovery that stole the attention of the public. NASA merilis gambar 33.000 asteroid baru yang mengambang antara Mars dan Jupiter dan juga ada gambar 20 komet. NASA released new images that float 33 000 asteroids between Mars and Jupiter and there are also pictures 20 comets.
Gambar-gambar itu didapat setelah NASA meluncurkan Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), yang membawa teleskop inframerah, pada Desember 2009. The images were obtained after NASA launched the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), which carries infrared telescopes, in December 2009. Pesawat ruang angkasa ini berhasil memindai kosmos secara rinci dan lebih halus dari misi sebelumnya. Spacecraft was successfully scan the cosmos in detail and more subtle than previous missions.
WISE memetakan langit satu setengah kali lebih jelas selama misi 14 bulannya. WISE to map the sky and a half times more obvious during the 14 month mission. Selain itu, WISE juga mendapatkan lebih dari 2,5 juta gambar dari orbit kutub tersebut. In addition, WISE also get more than 2.5 million images from the polar orbit.
Kemampuan pesawat ruang angkasa untuk mendeteksi cahaya panas membantunya menemukan benda berdebu, dingin dan jauh yang sering tidak terlihat oleh teleskop biasa. Spacecraft capability to detect objects of light to help him find the dusty heat, cold and distant that often are not visible to ordinary telescopes.
Kumpulan gambar yang tersedia mewakili lebih dari setengah gambar yang telah diamati dalam survei jagat raya. A collection of available images represent more than half of the image that has been observed in the survey universe. Peta sensus kosmik sepenuhnya dijadwalkan akan dirilis musim semi berikutnya. Map fully cosmic census is scheduled to be released next spring.
"Data baru yang spektakuler mengingatkan kita bahwa kita punya tetangga baru," kata Pete Schultz, seorang ilmuwan ruang angkasa di Brown University. "Spectacular new data remind us that we have a new neighbor," said Pete Schultz, a space scientist at Brown University.
