First Image of Entire Universe from Planck satellite

FaceBookTwitter

First Image of Entire Universe is revealed after a year of observations from Europe’s Planck telescope. This image will give scientists new insight into how the stars and galaxies form. It also exposes the space signal is factually concealed behind a fog of foreground emission, arising mostly from the interstellar medium (ISM), the diffuse mixture of gas and dust filling our Galaxy.

This is the first full sky image “map” which was assemble after 600m European observatory over six month. It was sent into space to study the cosmos and specifically the “oldest light” in the heavens.

It is the one of the best dataset to understand the galaxy properly. Dominating the picture are large parts of our Milky Way Galaxy. From the middle of the picture, you will also notice the bright line which runs through the full length of the picture. This is main disc of galaxy and it is the flat where the Earth and the Sun reside.

The European Space Agency's (Esa) Planck project scientist, Dr Jan Tauber told BBC News "It's a spectacular picture; it's a thing of beauty".

ESA Director of Science and Robotic Exploration, David Southwood, said: “This is the moment that Planck was conceived for.”

You will also see a cast bursts of cold dust which attains thousands of light-years above and below the galactic plane. To better understand how the Universe came, scientist will spend many years.

At the top and bottom of the image in the red and yellow marbled region is where the CMB is visible.

Professor Andrew Jaffe, a Planck team member from Imperial College London, told BBC News, "What you see is the structure of our galaxy in gas and dust, which tells us an awful lot about what is going on in the neighborhood of the Sun; and it tells us a lot about the way galaxies form when we compare this to other galaxies.”

The different colours signify minute differences in the temperature and density of matter across the sky.

About Planck satellite

Plank is a space observatory which is designed for observing the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) over the entire sky by using high sensitivity and angular resolution. It was made by Thales Alenia Space in the Cannes Mandelieu Space Center.

Planck was launched together with the Herschel satellite on 14 May 2009. It has number of mission from which one is to find hard evidence of “inflation” which is the faster-than-light growth that many cosmologists believe the world experienced in its first few seconds.
