The new observatory will 'fuel Big Data Astronomy' for years to come.
Japan's Subaru Telescope team just introduced a new instrument that will utilize roughly 2,400 fiberoptic cables to capture light from the stars with immense precision. The spectroscopy telescope is expected to start operations in 2024., the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan said, "the ability to observe thousands of objects simultaneously will provide unprecedented amounts of data to fuel Big Data Astronomy in the coming decade."The Subaru Telescope is an 8.
The NAO just revealed its PFS instrument, which, according to the institution, breaks visible "light rainbows" or light dispersion, into two components: the red and the blue side. The organization says scientists will be able to combine this data with that of a third infrared light detector. All of this will allow scientists to glean a whole lot of information from what may otherwise seem like a simple observation.
"Together with a widefield camera ," the NAO statement reads, "PFS will help launch the Subaru Telescope 2.0 project which will reveal the nature of dark matter and dark energy, structure formation in the Universe, and the physical processes of galaxy formation and evolution."Spectroscopy is essentially the study of the absorption and emission of light by matter.
As the NAO explains, "a spectrograph breaks the light from an object into its component colors, in other words it creates a precise rainbow." This allows researchers to ascertain a great deal of information about the origin of light they are investigating, including their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance and luminosity.
Sir Isaac Newton is widely credited as the first to have applied spectroscopy to astronomical observations back in the early 1700s, allowing the scientific community to gain a whole new perspective on the cosmos and forever changing the field of astronomy.
