Dark matter (26.8%) Dark energy (68.3%) [6] The observable universe is a ball-shaped region of the universe consisting of all matter that can be observed from Earth or its space-based telescopes and exploratory probes at the present time; the electromagnetic radiation from these objects has had time to reach the Solar System and Earth since the ...
Google Earth is a computer program that renders a 3D representation of Earth based primarily on satellite imagery. The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite images, aerial photography, and GIS data onto a 3D globe, allowing users to see cities and landscapes from various angles. Users can explore the globe by entering addresses and ...
Earth Location. Logarithmic representation of the universe centered on the Solar System. Celestial bodies on this graphic are clickable and shown with their sizes enlarged. Knowledge of the location of Earth has been shaped by 400 years of telescopic observations, and has expanded radically since the start of the 20th century.
The observable universe contains as many as an estimated 2 trillion galaxies [101] [102] [103] and, overall, as many as an estimated 10 24 stars [104] [105] – more stars (and earth-like planets) than all the grains of beach sand on planet Earth; [106] [107] [108] but less than the total number of atoms estimated in the universe as 10 82; [109 ...
The Scale of the Universe is an interactive online visualization tool first created in 2010 by Cary and Michael Huang, two brothers from Moraga, California. [1][2][3][4][5] Released on both Newgrounds and the Huang brothers' personal web page, it features a scrollbar that players can use to navigate through orders of magnitude and view various ...
WorldWide Telescope. WorldWide Telescope (WWT) is an open-source set of applications, data and cloud services, [4][5] originally created by Microsoft Research but now an open source project hosted on GitHub. [6] The .NET Foundation holds the copyright and the project is managed by the American Astronomical Society and has been supported by ...
NASA's Eyes Visualization (also known as simply NASA's Eyes) is a freely available suite of computer visualization applications created by the Visualization Technology Applications and Development Team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to render scientifically accurate views of the planets studied by JPL missions and the spacecraft used in that study.
A map of galaxy voids. The structure of the Universe can be broken down into components that can help describe the characteristics of individual regions of the cosmos. These are the main structural components of the cosmic web: Voids – vast, largely spherical [6] regions with very low cosmic mean densities, up to 100 megaparsecs (Mpc) in ...
