"Hubble" The Incredible Space Binoculars

Hubble Space Telescope in April this 20-year-old managed to expand our vision of the universe and create a new mystery.

For those whose knowledge of science gained little by little from the media, astronomy seemed on the rise. And it is true.

We managed to create a consensus about how the universe continued to expand our highway to create a variety of galaxies, stars and planets through the dense heat that began 14 billion years ago.

We can put the whole solar system into one big scenario that continues to grow until the time of Big Bang-an era when all the stars hotter than the center and add the time scale for a few seconds.

Only within the last ten years we can know that a large number of "world" turns out to exist in orbit other stars.

The current technique is not sensitive enough to find a planet similar to Earth, but the planets that had known so far-mostly in size like Jupiter or Saturn, which is a giant planet in our solar system-can be considered the largest in the system other planets as interesting as our planetary system.

hubble] But if the planets are orbiting stars recently discovered that it could contain the biosphere as complex as Earth's biosphere, and may also be occupied by the intelligence of living creatures?

This question can now be answered seriously.

Currently there are efforts to find a transmission that may be "the product of a single creature."

These projects are financed independently: their difficulty in obtaining funding from the government because the topic is burdened by the relationship "convoluted" with UFOs and so forth.

Even if we then can not understand the results of that study, we will be able to learn that the "intelligence" is not solely owned and is in the human skull, but there are also elsewhere.
Looking into the past

Now we expand again the views of our universe. Our galaxy, with hundreds of billions of stars, together with millions of other galaxies captured by large telescopes.

Andromeda, the closest large galaxy to us is two million light years away. The stars orbit in one piece tilt.

Several hundred other nearby galaxies-which berjarang about 300 million light years-has been mapped in detail.

And while we explore space further, we explore farther into the past (because the light emitted is now shining on us since a long time): we feel is that the universe is now the same as when I was younger and more close together.

Now we can look further back.

Hubble's three-dimensional map of the stars and galaxies forming substances

Among the pictures that were taken by the Hubble Space Telescope's most impressive is a photograph which shows a small cloud, measuring less than one hundredth of a region that can reach a full moon.

If viewed with a medium-sized telescope, this collection will seem completely empty.

But the telescope is very sensitive remote is successfully demonstrated hundreds of light-dim light rdup one billion more than the stars that can be seen with the naked eye.

However, every ray of light is a dim galaxy, with hundreds of light-years wide, which seemed small and dim because of the long distance from the earth.

There is a large span of time that separates us with the isolated galaxies.

Their views when they have just formed: we look to the past, more than 90% of the time to the Big Bang.
Early

These remote galaxies has not set itself on "the propeller" which rotates with the stable like Andromeda.

Some consist mainly of glowing gas that spread that has not fused into a star.

If we observe Andomeda, sometimes we wonder if there are other beings who are also our attention.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY of Hubble
NASA's Hubble

* In answering the main purpose of the mission, Hubble determines the universe around 13.7 billion years old - and later confirmed by other instruments.
* Ability to mendteksi supernova Hubble's discovery that helps dim alams universe expansion velocity increases.
* Hubble is one of two telescopes that take pictures of the planet that orbits a star directly stated - This historic picture was published in November 2009.
* Hubble succeeded in determining the size of the first direct dark substances in space in three dimensions.

Maybe there was.

But there is certainly no living creatures in remote galaxies. Stars they do not have enough time to convert pure hydrogen into carbon, oxygen and silicon atom-types that are needed by planets and life.

But what about the future? Six million years from now, when the sun no longer shines, the galaxies will be more and more spread out, and much fainter because the population is also aging, and the gas produced is important for forming new stars goes down.

But what will happen after that?

One surprising discovery is aided by the Hubble telescope shows that the galaxies are spread in the velocity increases, due to the influence of a mysterious power.

Therefore, estimates of the future situation of the most telling is the universe will continue to grow, and become more empty, darker and colder.

We can predict the fate of later life: life could be extinct, but on the other side of life can reach a level of dominance that could affect the entire universe.

The second possibility is a science fiction story, but can not be regarded as a mere fantasy because it only takes less than one billion years to create natural selection determines the change from multi-cellular organisms first became Earth's present biosphere (including humans).

Then how about the beginning?

One small part of the early history of the universe is still shrouded in mystery, because the current environment-the density, temperature and so-very difficult to break through the simulation in the laboratory.

Here we are entering a situation where the theory-makers could only speculate.

One of my favorite magazine cover showing a red circle with the description reads "at the age of the Earth billions of billion billion seconds - actual size."

Popular theory says that our universe is "raised" from a small circle of very dense, and because of the influence of the split power of the universe that is more powerful than the power that makes the galaxy more dispersed now.

In the last two decades, managed to expand the vision of the Hubble telescope of our universe - after, as usual in science, this progress raises a new mystery that will be a challenge for astronomers in the future and make the party more interested in the universe want to know.
