the team cut-out 5,333 galaxies from Hubble's image and then extrapolated the distance of each galaxy (using "redshift" measurements) and carefully placed them one-by-one into a virtual 3D space.
A 3D map of our cosmic neighborhood has revealed hot and cold regions as well as an "escape tunnel" from our local bubble.
Local Hot Bubble mapped in 3D, reveals temperature variations Discovery of an interstellar tunnel heading toward Centaurus New data links the bubble to a potential superbubble in our galaxy ...
Within seven months, their Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has broken all 3D galaxy survey records. A component built by Durham University increases the telescope's field of view using ...
