MAPS OF THE UNIVERSE

- Translated from Spanish by Argos -

Every time we hear that "This is the most detailed map of the #universe!"

But they're weighted?

If we choose a place in space, put 500 million light years. After taking captures of the positions of the elements that will appear on our map, #stars or #galaxies, at different times in time with separations of years or decades and extrapolate the positions of everything that this further to the position they would occupy when they found 500 light years away and interpolate the positions of everything that this closer to the position they have occupied at the same time.

As much as today we count on Superorders,
Do you really make this weight?
