They Went Deeper In Space Than The Hubble

Wow…In this particular region of space the telescope at ESO has actually gone deeper than the Hubble:

The MUSE instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile has given astronomers the best ever three-dimensional view of the deep Universe. After staring at the Hubble Deep Field South region for a total of 27 hours the new observations reveal the distances, motions and other properties of far more galaxies than ever before in this tiny piece of the sky. The new observations are allowing astronomers to go beyond the Hubble Deep Field and reveal a host of previously unseen objects.

Let’s see what they observed in the video on page 2

    That’s really cool. But instead of pointing it at distant empty space why don’t they point it at nearby stars/galaxies that some scientists say might have intelligent life(or be good candidates for intelligent life)?

    Maybe the spin is stopped by a de-spin mechanism. Perhaps the yo-yo de spin or some other type. The rocket slow, stops and returns to earth by….. Gravity.

    Yea sure! Maybe you’re naive…..you can hear it hit something. Sounds like glass, when you hit a window. Explain gravity and why it would stop a rocket?

  4. Casey Segrest said:

    That have and do. That’s why they think they are good candidates in the first place. You still can’t see in the planetary level of other solar systems because they are very small in comparison. Same goes for our local planets.

    Well where are the pics of those? To my knowledge all they do is calculate light waves to see if stars have planets. And with the light waves they can tell what the main gas of the planet is. I have yet to see any earth like planets in the Goldilocks zone in any pics.

  6. Casey Segrest said:

    They find the planets by the light from stars dimming slightly from the planets transiting across the star. The light they analyze are from pics or time lapse video. The pics of the galaxies are large pics but are of galaxies that are very large. 10-100k light years in diameter. The stars and planets are so much smaller. Its like saying why can’t we see a grain of sand on a beach 1000 miles away with a telescope. All you can see is the whole beach.

    The sound is the mechanism activating. It is rocket science so I wouldn’t expect you to understand. Gravity is always turned on and when the rockets stops firing there is no force to overpower gravity. So it slows, stops, returns.

  8. Augustus J Palaza said:

    Yes of course Casey. I wouldn’t have a clue,but you would? It seems you will say anything to makes sense of it. Yes it is a mechanism that abruptly stops the rocket!!! Hmmmmmm….nice try
    Firmament!!!!

    You think indoctrination is education…! Who are you kidding dopey. …yes videos are just as much learning tools as your molded and manipulated textbooks dumbass!!! You’re a clown

    There was an area of empty space that they didn’t point anything at for 30 years.
    Then they did and found a whole lot of things there when they thought there was nothing.

    Soo…..

    Also casey lol

    They find the planets from red shift and star wobble as well. Not just light since most of the time it is so far away all they can see is the star and nothing else.
