but astronomers have connected 52 sites just like this one spread all across europe. together, they ve captured some of the most detailed pictures from space ever taken. in this image, the galaxy is in the middle. shooting out either side are jets of material across the expanse of space. it s because of a gigantic black hole inside of it. astronomers can now see things they ve never been able to see before. this is a picture of a galaxy seen through a normal telescope. and here is a standard radio image of it. although it s a lot brighter, a lot of the detail has been lost. now compare it with one of the new high definition images, which is much sharper, showing features inside in unprecedented detail. the brightest area at the bottom shows the location of a gigantic black hole inside this galaxy. it s bright because of the energy released as it s sucking in material around it.
meanwhile, in the deserts of chile, a telescope was able to see the universe as it really is filled with a mysterious substance called dark matter. it can t be seen, but this instrument detected dark matter by the way it distorts starlight. this is a map of matter in the universe. astronomers produced this map of how it spread across the cosmos. it permeates space, accounting for most of the mass of the universe. the bright areas are where dark matter is most clumped together. it s here that galaxies form. it s our reality shining like gems on an unseen, tangled cosmic web. but the map is not what astronomers expected. according to einstein s theories, the matter should be slightly more clumped together. instead, it s smoother and more spread out.
a large chunk of it landed in the driveway of the wilcock family living in winchcombe in gloucestershire. i came out, and we looked at this pile of what looked like crushed coal. and so i started even then thinking perhaps it s come down from space. security camera footage captured the flight of the meteorite as it flew over nuneaton, somerset, wigan, before it ended up at the natural history museum for study. winchcombe is very special because it is one of the most pristine materials that we have available on earth to study, and the thing that s really good about this particular case is that we saw it fall, and so we can use that fireball to, kind of, track back the trajectory, work out where in the solar system it came from. a study from the natural history museum found that the uk is losing biodiversity so quickly that it s now one of the most nature depleted places in the world.
was an even bigger challenge. we need some of the words greatest brains and minds fixed on trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live. but many space scientists say the choice between earth or space is a false one. the science museum gallery celebrates the heyday of space travel in the 19605 and 70s when humans went to the moon. and it was that effort, they say, that helped draw attention to the planet s environmental plight. but, for many, it s the beautiful images from space that most inspires no more so than the pictures from the hubble space telescope. for more than 30 years, it s captured distant galaxies, stars being born and dying. images that have been as uplifting to the soul as they have been to the mind.
