Gaze Back In Time And Map History Of Universe

UK astronomers are set to expand our knowledge of the history of our Universe with a new project to map the inception and formation of galaxies. Making use of an Infrared Array Camera on NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, the Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey (SERVS) will make a very large map of the sky, capable of detecting extremely faint galaxies. The primary aim is to chart the distribution of stars and black holes from when the Universe was less than a billion years old to the present day.
