The person traveling to this infinity does not know what he is going to get. But he hopes that what he finds will reveal many deep secrets of the universe. A team of scientists who went on this journey showed what has not been done so far.

A 3D map of the universe has never been prepared yet. A special process called redshift has been very useful in making this map. In this process, the distance from the old far-flung galaxies is read by reading the light. After all, how was this bird’s eye map prepared?

When did 3D map making begin?

Man has always looked upward with curiosity. Sometimes the sun that sees him in the day surprises him, sometimes he surprises him, the sheet of night studded with stars. Human beings have been engaged for years to solve this riddle of day and night. Some such people gathered 20 years ago.

He thought that let’s make a map that will reverse every corner of the universe. The idea began with The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Thousands of scientists came here from hundreds of institutes of the world. And got involved in preparing a space map.

The Apache Point Observatory did this work. Now listen to his story This Observatory is on the high hill of Sacramento in New Mexico, USA. It has one of the largest telescopes in the world. This telescope has an exposure of 140 inches. Aperture means the diameter or width of the lens through which the light enters the telescope.

Think of it as such that the aperture of a commonly found scientific telescope has a 12-inch lens and can see more than 2 billion light-years. Apache Observatory’s 140-inch lens telescope captured 2 million galaxies up to 11 billion light-years.

Light year means the distance covered by a ray of light in a year. Let us tell you that the speed of light is more than 3 lakh kilometers in 1 second. According to this, a light-year would be 9,500,000,000,000 km. In such a situation, keep an account of large distances in the light year.

It is not that the telescope just kept on taking pictures and we looked at the computer screen. These photos were saved by a computer and placed neatly. This work has taken many years. After that, a complete 3D picture has surfaced.

What is the use of the 3D map of space?

This map will tell the story of the birth of our earth and the sun. It is said that a big explosion occurred millions of years ago and since then the universe has been expanding like a balloon. Our Milky Way Galaxy, which holds the status of a small point on this balloon, is also expanding (in the Milky Way Galaxy is smaller than the point of our Earth’s position). This detailed map will help in adding unknown pieces of the puzzle which was called ‘The Gap’ when we were expanding our Milky Way Galaxy.

This map will tell how our Earth was born. In this map, there is not only the Ujali Galaxy but also a lot of darkness. This is called scientific dark matter. Nobody knows well what Dark Matter is. Scientists believe that there are many such secrets hidden in this dark matter that have the power to change the entire understanding of physics.
