Using Infrared Light to Survey the Milky Way Galaxy

Observatories with smaller views of space have provided exquisite images of other galaxies, revealing complex structures. But studying our own galaxy’s anatomy is surprisingly difficult. The plane of the Milky Way covers such a large area on the sky that studying it in detail can take a very long time. Astronomers also must peer through thick dust that obscures distant starlight. Infrared light can pass through that dust and is a key tool for learning about the far side of our galaxy.

Wow 😮

[@mikeoxmall69420]

Is it possible to look inside dark nebulae with this? I want to know what's inside Barnard 68

Goddard when you explore particles clearly . let me help , EVERY PARTICLE HAS THEIR OWN NUCLEUS . rest by mail Gabbu

Video is way too short! Most commercials are longer!

And what do we do with this information that we spent so much money every day to learn?

[@hamzahkhan8952]

science: its used to learn more about our universe, its origins and evolution. it could also help us find extraterrestrial life. and it could be used to learn more about how life came to be.
