wocomoDOCS | The world's largest steerable radio telescope, Green Bank Telescope | Cosmic Flow 2/3 @wocomodocs | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
Since the beginning of time, man has never stopped looking further. After the explorers of the XVIth century, the cosmologists of the XXIst century sail on the "celestial waves" enriching, in the course of their missions, a dizzying cartography. These curious travelers, at the forefront of technology, have for vessels terrestrial or space telescopes ever more powerful and spectacular, pushing back ever further the limits of our knowledge and giving substance to our dream of infinity. From Hawaii to Australia, via South Africa and China, we embark on an incredible human and scientific adventure to the greatest sites of exploration of the Cosmos on the planet and to the discovery of new challenges on the understanding of the universe. A breathtaking journey on earth and in space!

Man's desire to explore extended into space. Maps were drawn, corrected as science progressed. These new travelers have for vessels terrestrial or space telescopes always more powerful, which push further the limits of knowledge. Astrophysicist Hélène Courtois and her international team of astronomers are among these new explorers. In 2014, while working on a new map of space, they succeeded in mapping for the first time the galactic supercluster, Laniakea, in which the Milky Way is located, thus revealing with unprecedented precision the Earth's location in the cosmos. But to achieve this feat, Professor Hélène Courtois went to the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia to use the world's largest and most steerable radio telescope. The Green Bank Telescope (GBT) is located in the most sterilized area in the world, where radio transmissions and wifi are forbidden and gas cars are prohibited, in order to obtain the most accurate image of the cosmos possible. Thanks to the data from the GBT, researchers and scientists are able to study the most tenuous radio waves in the universe. By observing the movements of galaxies and their cosmic flows, the astrophysicist will thus be able to reveal a supercontinent of galaxies, called Laniakae. By bringing a precise cartography of our universe, the astrophysicists will be able to calculate the poisitions of galaxies in the Universe but also to understand the great regions of dark matter, generator of the cosmic flows.
A scientific quest to the ends of the universe.
