There is still much to be discovered in the universe, but more and more we are moving towards new conclusions. For example, recently a group of scientists discovered the presence of a extragalactic structure which for years was hidden from observation.
Below, see more details about this story that has the participation of Brazilian scientists!

For years, scientists have grappled with an obscured part of the night sky that was simply impossible to observe. However, the fact that it makes up approximately 10% of the sky has instigated many researchers and has become one of the main mysteries to be discovered in recent years.
Faced with this issue, a group of scientists from the National University of San Juan, Andres Bello and the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul carried out deeper research on the subject. From these surveys, it was possible to find evidence for what scientists called “Extragalactic Structure”.
It is a group of diverse galaxies that goes far beyond the Milky Way, more precisely with a number of 58 galaxies. In this case, his findings were summarized in an article published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics and are considered a great advance in the studies of the universe.
Discovering the extragalactic structure was a real challenge that was only possible thanks to the efforts of committed researchers. Furthermore, it was necessary to use several tools and also previous data from other studies, such as the recent conclusions of researchers from the VVV Survey.
In this case, the VVV Survey is a project sponsored by the European Organization for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere. Through this project it was possible to install several research centers in different locations and has already secured some impressive results.
Therefore, mainly infrared images were used to reach the conclusion that some galaxies were hidden in the so-called “Evasion Zone”. In other words, infrared was used instead of visible light. For those unaware, these emissions can outrun gas, dust, and even starlight.
