What does the universe look like if you see radio waves?
Thanks to a $ 50 million radio telescope, astronomers can now admire space under the eyes of a "superman".
The brilliant universe photos that you see regularly in magazines are just a computer converted product. There are about 300,000 galaxies that we know have frequencies between 70-230 MHz. And so, they are completely invisible to the naked eye.
"The human eye is visible by comparing brightness in the three primary colors - red, green and blue," said Dr. Natasha Hurley-Walker, a researcher working at the International Center. Astronomical research station (ICRAR), Western Australia. "Meanwhile, high-end telescopes are comparable between 20 different basic colors."

Researchers at NASA have released a tool called Gleamoscope that lets you see the universe under a variety of electromagnetic spectra. From radio waves to microwaves and long-range infrared light wavelengths, light wavelengths are visible to the naked eye, X-rays and gamma rays.
"Surveying the sky with such a large scale brings a lot of research value. This tool is being used in many different astrophysics fields," said astronomer Dr. Randall. Wayth, co-author of the study, said.
When we talk about light, we often think of a form of material that can be seen. And actually called "visible light". While our eyes can only see this kind of normal light, some special cameras can find and detect other light.
Everything is very strange when you take them in different light conditions. For example, take a look at this astronomical photo of the galaxy Centaurus (Bach Ma). The image is made up of a combination of many photos of the galaxy that are captured through a telescope. This special telescope can detect radio waves and infrared rays.

Although astronomers have captured the image of the night sky at the longest wavelength - radio waves - they have never imagined that it will have such high levels of precision and precision until the Widefield Murchison telescope appeared.
Located at Geraldton in Western Australia, one of its most recent tests - known as GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA (GLEAM) - captured images of space in radio waves with not only 3 basic colors (red, blue, green), which are 20 different colors.
"This is beyond the limits of humanity, it also beat the record of the animal world, it is the superficial child - with the ability to see 12 basic colors , " Dr. Randall Wayth said.
Astronomers say that GLEAM's new data will help them study space collisions, why stars explode and giant black holes.
