49 new gold nuggets in our night sky discovered in less than three hours.
, thanks to a deep-sky census assembled from surveys taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories, astronomers concluded that there are at least 10 times more galaxies in the observable universe than previously thought to be the case.
Professor Ed Elson, from the University of the Western Cape and a co-author of the paper, said that this discovery highlights the raw power of the MeerKAT telescope as an imaging instrument. Dr. Marcin Glowacki, from the Curtin University node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research in Western Australia, led the research. He said this was a great example of how fantastic an instrument like MeerKAT is for finding the star-forming gas in galaxies.
Dr Glowacki sees the 49 new galaxies as valuable as gold nuggets in our night sky. Many galaxies are near each other, forming galaxy groups, with several identified in one observation. For example, three galaxies are directly connected by their gas.
