I-European Southern Observatory (ESO) yethule isithombe esihle esithwebula ukusakazeka kwezinkanyezi kanye nomugqa omnyama we-Milky Way.
Isithombe sithathwe endaweni yokwakhiwa kwe-Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), ehlelelwe ukuba ibe isibonakude esikhulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni.
Lesi sakhiwo sizotholakala phezulu kweCerro Armazones enyakatho yeChile. Kusungulwe uhlelo oluyinkimbinkimbi lwezibuko ezinhlanu lwetheleskopu, olungenawo ama-analogue. Kulokhu, ububanzi besibuko esikhulu buzoba ngamamitha angu-39: kuzoba nezingxenye ezingu-798 ezine-hexagonal ezilinganisa amamitha angu-1,4.
Uhlelo luzofunda isibhakabhaka kububanzi beza beza obubonakalayo naseduze kwe-infrared ukuze kuthungwe ama-exoplanet amasha, ikakhulukazi, afana noMhlaba azungeza ezinye izinkanyezi.
Lesi sithombe sithathwe njengengxenye yohlelo lwe-ESO lwe-Space Treasures, isinyathelo sokufinyelela ekuthwebuleni izinto ezithokozisayo, ezingaqondakali noma ezinhle kusetshenziswa izibonakude ze-ESO ngezinjongo zokufundisa nokufinyelela umphakathi.
Ukuze ubone i-Milky Way ngemininingwane enjalo, udinga ukuba sendaweni enokungcoliswa kokukhanya okuphansi. Lezi izimo ezitholakala eMount Cerro Armazones.
