Astronomers To Gaze Back In Time And Map History Of Universe
Making use of an Infrared Array Camera on NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, the Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey (SERVS) will make a very large map of the sky, capable of detecting extremely faint galaxies. The primary aim is to chart the distribution of stars and black holes from when the Universe was less than a billion years old to the present day.
The survey is one of the largest ever awards of observing time on a space-based observatory - a total of 1400 hours. |
