An image of space like you've never seen before

A superpowered telescope set up in the middle of the Australian desert has created some amazing photos from space. Alright, you may have seen thousands of beautiful photos of our galaxy even from far away, but there are something different here, because in theory the landscapes can be seen by the human eye.

All images captured by the telescope were photographed within the visible spectrum, the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is capable of sensitizing the human eye, that is, that we can see.

But it's not to be surprised if you look at the sky and don't see something so beautiful. Although they are within the visible spectrum, it would only be possible to see something of the kind with the naked eye if we had the same sensitivity to light as telescopes.

Already to know what the view of space would look like if we had super eyes, the astronomers responsible for the Murchison Widefield Array, as this telescope is called, took pictures using 20 primary colors instead of the three or four we're used to. The result is quite different from the way we are used to seeing the universe.

Do not think, however, that the job of these people is just spreading cute images. Photos will be essential in future studies on star bursts, galaxy collisions and black holes. At the telescope's website you can explore the entire Milky Way at a range of different wavelengths. It is a full plate for astronomy fans.
