Scientists create largest 2D map of the universe with 5.6 trillion pixels and nearly 4 billion cosmic objects

An international team has produced the most detailed, two-dimensional map ever created of the observable universe. This groundbreaking achievement resulted in an image boasting an astounding 5.6 trillion pixels, representing a significant leap forward in astronomical imaging capabilities. The map encompasses almost four billion distinct cosmic objects, including galaxies and quasars, offering unprecedented insight into their distribution. Scientists involved emphasize that this type of large-scale mapping is becoming increasingly prevalent within the field of astronomy. Researchers believe this data will be instrumental for future studies regarding dark matter and energy distributions throughout space.
