NASA Found 12 Copies Of One Galaxy In Space

NASA Found 12 Copies Of One Galaxy In Space.
Astronomers recently discovered 12 copies of a sunburst from the early Universe. An international team of astronomers led by Hkon Dahle at the University of Oslo observed a galaxy 11 billion years old in no fewer than 12 multiple, gravitationally lensed images using the Hubble Space Telescope. The discovery sheds light on a pivotal period in the history of our universe: the age of reionization. The arcs of light visible in a new Hubble image aren't weird artifacts or smudges on the space telescope's lens. Rather, they're distorted and reproduced light of a galaxy 11 billion light-years away in the foreground.At least 12 duplicates of the Galaxy, dubbed the Sunburst Arc and designated PSZ1 G311.65-18.48, streak across the sky. Astronomers can learn so much about the Universe because of this phenomenon.

So many mysteries out there, wish I could live long enough to just be here when we figure it all out

Wow uploader decided to omit this crucial information.

*The Sunburst Arc galaxy is almost 11 billion light-years away and the light from it is being lensed into multiple images by gravitational lensing. The Sunburst Arc is among the brightest lensed galaxies known and its image is visible at least 12 times within the four arcs*

I would love to go to a place on Earth that doesn't have any light pollution and just gaze into space. This is a great video. Thank you.

I realized the best way to experience our galaxy is at night on a clear day on my motorcycle on an open moon lit highway. It's pretty unreal

[littlestonliest]

Not identical galaxies but an illusion caused by "gravitational lensing." They're also not duplicates created of ourselves in different galaxies. Our higher being can send parts of itself to different galaxies but it would be born to a completely different body.

Time for the Grand Zeno to have a tournament of power 🙂

So how do we know these far far away planets we are looking at don’t have life if we are seeing them 11 billion years in the past?

Camera man : Don’t mind me i’m just here recording or picturing galaxies and everything

Parallel realities. And I'm stuck in the wrong one. Help!

[Ddrake]

Maybe the galaxy was just moving faster than the speed of light. That would mean that we would see different versions of the galaxy.

Kids growing up today and learning will have such a broader perspective of the Universe, than kids just a few decades back.

[philipnorris]

All good stuff although, not being a physicist, some of the scientific jargon is a tad above my head. I have always been fascinated by the universe; when we look up at the stars we still feel the wonder that the first men felt.

[OmarManasra]

We don’t have a clear image of our own galaxy to decide, all we got imagination

[lovenikolatesla]

Eleven billion years old 😳 imagine that mind-boggling isn't it ✨

[barrytaylor]

Such strange phenomenon, but heres a question, where did the first supermassive black holes come from? But this is strange and awesome

[kopitetuko]

Probably galaxies is not as much as what we think earlier!, Its simply a mirror effect created by space, like a room with mirrors or mirage created in the dessert.

[waurdhiewaurchei]

This is what they need to get right. Light is physical matter.

[Li-jium]

Maybe there’s some intergalactic space conquerors out there who took over several galaxies and made it a replica of their home galaxy 👁

[jimbintz]

Duplicate images (optical illutoins) due to lensing from different angles?

[TrailBossTatum]

Why not put a telescope or satellite out in space between the planets to use like a relay to see farther and bring in more data. Seems like signal would be stronger..
