EXERCISE 1
EXERCISE 1 The photograph on Page 80 is part of the Hubble Deep Field South, one of the deepest images ever taken of the sky. Each blob, large and small, on that photo is a galaxy, and the length of one edge of the photo is approximately one arcminute. If the entire sky - Northern and Southern hemispheres put together - covers about 41,000 square degrees, about how many galaxies are there in the observable universe? |
