Скачать или смотреть Unprecedented Radio Color View of the Milky Way: New ICRAR Image Reveals Galactic Secrets

Astronomers from the International Centre of Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have unveiled the largest low-frequency radio color image of the Milky Way ever created. This groundbreaking image, constructed by Ph.D. student Silvia Mantovanini, offers twice the resolution, ten times the sensitivity, and covers twice the area compared to previous images. It provides an unparalleled perspective of our galaxy, revealing the birth, evolution, and death of stars in stunning detail.
Using data from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) telescope, the image distinguishes between gas surrounding new stars and remnants of exploded stars, offering clearer patterns in the cosmic landscape. It also sheds light on supernova remnants, stellar nurseries, and the mysteries of pulsars.
This video explores the significance of this new image, the technology behind its creation, and the insights it provides into the structure and evolution of our galaxy. Discover how this milestone in astronomy paves the way for future discoveries with the SKA Observatory's SKA-Low telescope.
