Astronomers released a massive survey of the galactic plane of the Milky Way. The new dataset reportedly contains a staggering 3.32 billion celestial objects.
Theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku explains the significance of new images provided by NASA's Webb Space Telescope on 'Sunday Night in America.'in one of the biggest surveys of the galactic plane of the Milky Way.
The image was taken by the Dark Energy Camera on the Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, which made the observations over two years. The data used to create the survey – taken at optical and near-infrared wavelengths – originates from the second release of the Dark Energy Camera Plane Survey and was described in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement.
The center of the image made available by the National Science Foundation's NOIRLab in January 2023 shows the galactic plane of the Milky Way galaxy.The survey identified 3.32 billion objects from over 21,400 individual exposures over around 260 hours of observations.
