The distribution of galaxies as mapped by various Australia, US and European survey teams. In total we have mapped the locations of over 4million galaxies that can be used to study the evolution of mass, energy and structure in the Universe over the past few billion years.

Astronomers studying >200,000 galaxies have measured the energy generated within a large portion of space more precisely than ever before. They confirm that the #energy produced in a section of the Universe today is only ~1/2 what it was 2B yrs ago and find that this fading is occurring across #all #wavelengths from the UV to the far infrared. The Universe is slowly #dying.
The study involves many of the world’s most powerful telescopes, including ESO’s #VISTA and #VST survey telescopes at th...
