Deepest Image of the Universe

Deepest Image of the Universe

Sao Paulo - The European Southern Observatory (ESO) has released an image showing a deeper insight into the universe from the Vista Telescope, which observes the sky in infrared. To achieve this image, the telescope was pointed repeatedly to the same location. Then, the accumulated radiation emitted by distant galaxies, but comes weakened on Earth.

The image combines more than six thousand explosions of the telescope. It captured light for about 55 hours, with five different color filters.

At first glance the image appears normal, with a few bright stars and some weaker. But in fact, the objects are very distant galaxies, each containing billions of stars.

More than 200 000 galaxies are included in the photograph.The bright spots are entire galaxies, with billions of stars in each.

The Hubble View, located in Chile, aims to study distant galaxies in the early universe. It is possible that the ESO can obtain images deeper than this in the future when new observations were made.
