Amazing Radio Map of the Milky Way Shows Never Before Seen Objects
New Low-Frequency Radio Map Reveals the Hidden Milky Way
Discover the groundbreaking, high-resolution radio map of the Milky Way created by GLEAM-X, revealing energetic processes and unseen stellar remnants previously obscured by interstellar dust.
Short Summary
- New radio data offers twice the resolution and ten times the sensitivity of previous maps, cutting through obscuring galactic gas.
- The map uses low-frequency radio waves (72–231 MHz) to visualize star formation (blue regions) and supernova remnants (red circles).
- Researchers identified 106 new radio sources, many correlated with gamma-ray data, potentially hosting new compact objects.
- This revolutionary map provides crucial calibration data for future instruments like the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKA).
The video details the challenges of mapping the galaxy using radio light, which penetrates interstellar dust that blocks visible light. Anton explains how the specialized GLEAM-X project, utilizing the MWA telescope, processed massive datasets to produce the most detailed low-frequency radio image of our galaxy to date, unlocking secrets of stellar evolution.

bravo to the lady that did all this work..
I don't think I'll ever get over how humanity managed to essentially make light sing. Transforming scattered, unreadable data, into something we can understand. What a wild time to be an intelligent ape.
Good day all! Antons videos make a great start to my day! 😊🎉
I love radio telescope updates, good stuff!! Thanks Anton!
Marvelous ! Thank you Anton, and thank you Silvia !
5:40 Thank you Anton & thank you Silvia A Big thanks to all of you . 💐
This is one of those long-anticipated things that's great to finally see. Radio maps to see through the dust.
Stunning to see the Milky Way in all these different ways.
Hello wonderful Anton!
If we go there, one thing we will need is a really good map. You don't want to get lost in the milky way.
