Fine Art Print : Map of galactic supercluster distribution
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Map of galactic supercluster distribution
Map of the universe. Computer-generated map of the universe showing galactic superclusters (yellow) separated by voids (black). This huge map, centred on the Earth, covers a sphere with a diameter of 1.4 billion light years, around a five thousandth of the observable universe. The positions of over 15, 000 galaxies were measured by the satellite IRAS at infrared wavelengths. Galaxies are not scattered randomly through space, but are found in huge groups known as superclusters. Study of the sizes and shapes of the voids, in which galaxies are far more scarce, will give insight into the history, and the future, of the universe

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing Map of galactic supercluster distribution, offering us a glimpse into the vastness and complexity of our universe. Created using computer-generated technology, this map reveals the intricate arrangement of galactic superclusters (depicted in yellow) separated by expansive voids (represented in black). Spanning an unimaginable sphere with a diameter of 1.4 billion light years, this map provides valuable insights into just a fraction - around five thousandth - of the observable universe. The positions of over 15,000 galaxies were meticulously measured by the infrared satellite IRAS to construct this awe-inspiring representation. It becomes evident that galaxies are not randomly scattered throughout space but rather congregate in colossal groups known as superclusters. By studying the sizes and shapes of these voids where galaxies are scarce, scientists can gain profound understanding about the past and future trajectory of our universe. This extraordinary image from Science Photo Library invites us to contemplate our place within this immense cosmic tapestry. It serves as a reminder that we are part of something much grander than ourselves – an ever-expanding cosmos brimming with mysteries waiting to be unraveled through exploration and scientific inquiry.
