Universe's galaxies, all-sky 2MASS survey. 50, 000 gaalxies in the nearby universe, as detected by the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) in infrared light. This is known as the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS). Away from the galactic plane, each dot represents a galaxy, colour-coded to indicate distance. Bluer dots represent the nearer galaxies, while redder dots indicate the more distant galaxies that lie at a redshift near 0.1. For a similar survey, see image C045/6542. Image published in 2011. | |
