Hundreds of Previously Unknown Galaxies Discovered Behind Our Milky Way

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Vatic Note: What amazing news and what new knowledge we keep getting from advances in technology such as this telescope they talk about here on this article. Its nice to be posting good news for a change. Not much of it around lately, but this is refreshing.

News like this simply and periodically continues to remind us about just how small we are and especially those troubles we have on a daily basis. Magnificence has taken on a whole new meaning. I am happy to be reminded of that periodically.

Enjoy some good news for a change, and ponder what the impact of all that out there must have on us. Could this be why we are affected recently by so many things to do with gravity and cosmology?

No matter what your belief system, its nice to know that “creator” can do something so magnificent and grand as to create what we see today. Its also good to know that beauty, size, scope and movements are a part of our reality and that we are part of that reality. Its also nice to realize that such good can exceed by millions of degrees, the size and impact of evil. Now all we have to do is “believe it”. ENJOY THIS ONE!!!!!

Ignore the part where it says something was used on the moon trip. Remember, we proved we didn’t go to the moon, rather Stanley Kubrick produced such a trip using movie technology. As a result his producers offered him unlimited budget on his choice of “Eyes Wide Shut” movie of his. Then he suddenly died. We did a blog on that one a while back. I bring it up just to keep all this in perspective.

Australian astronomers have spotted roughly a thousand new star systems previously concealed from Earth by the gas and dust of our own galaxy, the Milky Way. The discovery was possible due to a powerful radio telescope currently being used to examine poorly studied cosmological phenomena.

Monster Gas Cloud Careening Toward Earth With the Power of 2 Million Suns

Some 883 galaxies, of which a third are new to astronomy, have been detected behind our galaxy. They were spotted at a distance of about 250 million light years from Earth by an Australian 64-meter radio telescope previously used in moon landing missions.

The radio telescope at the Parkes Observatory can peer through the thick clouds of cosmic gas and dust, and allowed astronomers to scrutinize areas of space not visible to optical telescopes.

“The Milky Way is very beautiful, of course, and it’s very interesting to study our own galaxy, but it completely blocks out the view of the more distant galaxies behind it,” Lister Staveley-Smith, director of science with the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), said in a statement.

Astronomers have been carrying out research using observatory of Australia’s national science agency, and have identified three new star system concentrations and two new clusters.

“An average galaxy contains 100 billion stars, so finding hundreds of new galaxies hidden behind the Milky Way points to a lot of mass we didn’t know about until now,” Discovery reported, citing Renée Kraan-Korteweg of the University of Cape Town, a study participant.

With the Parkes Observatory, astronomers will study and hopefully explain a phenomenon called the Great Attractor.

It’s been known since the 1970s that the Great Attractor is a zone in space that has a vast gravity field as powerful as a “million billion suns.” It grips the Milky Way as well as a number of other galaxies, carrying them along at speeds of some two million km/h, according to the team.

”We don’t actually understand what’s causing this gravitational acceleration on the Milky Way or where it’s coming from,” Staveley-Smith said in a statement. The team intends to initiate a more precise survey of the Great Attractor. In the next phase, they will use the newest heavy hitter in radio astronomy, the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder radio observatory, Smithsonian.com noted.
