SYDNEY. A powerful Australian telescope detected a signal emitted by the galaxy PKS B1740-517, located near the Ara constellation, which was issued 5,000 million years ago, scientific sources reported.
The galaxy was discovered by the telescope SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) having the Organization for Scientific and Industrial Research of the Commonwealth of Australia (CSIRO) in the Radio Observatory Astronomical Murchison, about 790 kilometers northeast of the city of Perth.
As noted CSIRO in a statement, the finding will reveal a period of the history of the universe rarely studied.
The team led by James Allison used a special technique to detect a change in the radio waves from the bright center of galaxy B1740-517, according to CSIRO.
The issuance of within 5,000 million years old was “recorded” hydrogen gas and traveling toward Earth, which is at least 500 years younger than the Galaxy years, recorded an almost imperceptible signal, the source added.
Allison explained that many observatories were unable to capture this signal “because it was hidden in the bottom of the radial sound” but the Radio-mute observatory allowed to be captured “clearly”.
According to a press CSIRO The discovery of the galaxy, with the participation of several Australian universities, will be announced today at an astronomy meeting in the UK.
