I Fly With The Stars In The Skies:)

A new advancement in science has come upon us. Scientists have recently created an amazing new telescope. At ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile, The Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope have us the possibility to capture scenes such as a new image of the nebula NGC 3582. This telescope has made it possible for scientists to the smallest things arounds this nebula. From this photo you are even able to see the gas loops that resemble solar prominences.

Being able to see something that far away from the Earth amazes me. This telescope has such a countless amount of capabilities. Imagine if they take what they know from this telescope and use it to make one that magnifies even greater than this one. Envision all of the amazing, new things we could find in the depths of outer space with the technology capabilities we have!
