1 00:00:07,860 --> 00:00:11,580 MUSE Dives into the Hubble Ultra Deep Field 2 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:21,340 Astronomers have used ESO's MUSE instrument on the VLT in Chile to make the deepest spectroscopic survey ever. 3 00:00:22,660 --> 00:00:31,400 They focused on the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, capturing light from 1600 galaxies — 72 of which had never been seen before. 4 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:42,860 MUSE can do something that Hubble can't. It splits up the light from every point in an image to create a spectrum... 5 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:55,040 ...allowing astronomers to measure the distance, colours and other properties of galaxies — including some that are even invisible to Hubble itself! 6 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:06,640 This survey adds a trove of new data about these galaxies, telling us about star formation and galaxy evolution in the early Universe. 7 00:01:09,660 --> 00:01:20,200 Many telescopes have investigated the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, and together teach us about the richness of the young Universe. 8 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:35,720 Transcribed by ESO, translated by —
