A cluster of galxies farther then the last record was found 10.2 billion years away. Which is 1 billion years farther then the last one that scientists have found in 2006. It is designated as JKCS041. This discovery was very exciting becuase you are finding someone has already found but an older one and tells more about the galaxies history.
This cluster maybe the farthest one we can see right now because our understaning of the universe is limited unless we have better technology. This cluster right now excisted when the galaxy was 3.5 billion years old. Individual galaxy was found and gamma-ray have been found farther away and is found by the Hubble Space Telescope (estimated about 13.1 billion years)
1)What do you think we can see when we have better technology?
2)If we have better technology and we have found another life form on one of the galaxy would we be friends with them or mortal enemy?
3) How can the Hubble Space Telescope still work even though it was launched in 1990?

Great article Andrew!
ReplyDeleteThe study of space never ceases to amaze me - it's just so vast and, we are constantly discovering new things (similar to the human brain).
As for the Hubble Telescope - I also find it quite amazing that a piece of technology launched in 1990 is still discovering new things despite 19 years of technological advancement. However, this will be short-lived, as the Hubble has recently been serviced / repaired one last time, and is only operational until 2014 - when the much more advanced James Webb Space Telescope will be launched.
We can see a lot of things that we don't see with her proper eyes and it's not going to stop because the scientific try to see thigs more in details.
ReplyDeleteQuestion #1:Now we have High Definition TV's than Ipod than
ReplyDeletei think space is really cool because it so mysterious and no one no;s alot about it and its amazing we can see that far and how the world is advancing in tachnolgical advances.
ReplyDeletei think if we have better technollogy or more technology we can see much better, its just like with microscopes, we can see much better.....
ReplyDeletei think space is cool because you can find almost anything
