Indian scientists claim discovery of galaxy ‘Saraswati’ in universe

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

PUNE: For the first time in the country, a team of Indian scientists has claimed to have discovered an "extremely large supercluster of galaxies", Saraswati, in the universe.

"Since the light from this galaxy has just reached us, we will be able to study how it (galaxy) was in the past," is what the scientists have to claim.

This ultra large structure is on the direction of constellation Pisces and 400 light years away from Earth. "This is a very high concentration of galaxies in the universe and it is very rare. Few such structures have been observed till now and this is definitely a first from India as all authors are Indians," said Shishir Sankhyayan from IISER, who is a co-author.

Sankhyayan said that while in 1989, Somak Raychoudhury, now director of IUCAA, had discovered such a super cluster of galaxies, he was then in the UK for his PhD at Cambridge University. "Earth, which belongs to Milky Way galaxy, is actually also a part of a supercluster called the Laniaka supercluster," he added.

Since the galaxy that has been discovered is far away from earth, the light has taken that much more time to reach Earth. This means what the scientists have observed is actually the past. "This helps us understand how the universe must have been many many years ago. Dark energy, as we all know, is behind the expansion of the universe but nobody has ever actually detected it. But everybody is studying this and the discovery of Saraswati will help us understand the dark energy and what part it plays in the expansion and other evolution of the universe," added Sankhayayan.

In a press statement, Joydeep Bagchi from IUCAA, the lead author of the paper, said, ''We were very surprised to spot this giant wall-like supercluster of galaxies, visible in a large spectroscopic survey of distant galaxies, known as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This supercluster is clearly embedded in a large network of cosmic filaments traced by clusters and large voids. Our work will help to shed light on the perplexing question; how such extreme large scale, prominent matter-density enhancements had formed billions of years in the past when the mysterious Dark Energy had just started to dominate structure formation.

Discovering a new supercluster is cool. However, I doubt these guys really claim much by way of looking back into the past. 400 light years is not that much, considering the Planck instrument has already given us an image of cosmic microwave background radiation 500 million years after Big Bang. Other telescopes have seen even farther.

So we do indeed have a good picture of how the Universe looked just after it was formed. How cool is that?!

I wish them luck , after failing miserably to hijack Indus civilization from Pakistan by honking the mambo jambo about mythical Saraswati river, they have found something to hold on to.

Now I know why Pakistan sucks in Science & Technology.

 

[Taimoor Khan]

Sure you mean OUR civilization. A bunch of converts can't claim to an idol worshiping civilization such as the IVC. We already have the dancing girl, please hand over the priest as well tyvm.

Your civilization? You were at best the subjects of Indus, the conquered people, who used to give Indus gold as a assurity money for your own survival. You gangiyaets have similar relation to Indus as it was with British colonial masters.

As for our ancestors in this Indus basin which we now call at our own preregotive, the Pakistan, their religion is neve established but one thing is for sure, they were not curry munching, vege and idol worshoping lot that you find in present day India.

You have more chance finding beginning of your kind in this distance "Saraswati" galaxy , then that mythical Saraswati river.

Now I know why Pakistan sucks in Science & Technology.

Find the beginning of your kind in this so called "Saraswati galaxy" , you have more chance in convincing the world, then that of the mythical Saraswati river.

IUCAA & IISER has more credibility than any Pakistani institution. What is Pakistan's contribution to Astrophysics ? Now go whine elsewhere.

then that of the mythical Saraswati river.

Cry....

Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has studied the palaeochannels in North West India and related them to the channels of River Saraswati. ISRO has not constituted any committee for this purpose.

An integrated palaeochannel map of River Saraswati has been prepared from the origin in Himalayas to Rann of Kutchch. The origin of the mapped course of the River Saraswati palaeochannel in North West India was linked to Himalayan perennial source through Sutlej and Yamuna Rivers.

The Government has made efforts to trace the origin of Saraswati river and has also constituted a committee for this purpose.

The work on delineation of entire course of river ‘Saraswati’ in North West India was carried out using Indian Remote Sensing Satellite data along with digital elevation model. Satellite images are multi-spectral, multi-temporal and have advantages of synoptic view, which are useful to detect palaeochannels. The palaeochannels are validated using historical maps, archaeological sites, hydro-geological and drilling data. It was observed that major Harappan sites of Kalibangan (Rajasthan), Banawali and Rakhigarhi (Haryana), Dholavira and Lothal (Gujarat) lie along the River Saraswati.

400 billion light years

 

[Jacob Martin]

400 billion light years

There has to be a mistake somewhere. The farthest reaches of the universe that we know of is less than 14 billion light years. 400 billion would dramatically alter our knowledge about the universe and would be the biggest scientific discovery of the decade.

Then 400 million Who knows ?
The quality of our press

It is not galaxy Saraswati....it is super clusters of 10000 galaxies that is called Saraswati. The OP missed this point...second...it is good that Indian scientists have named the super cluster after one the most important river of Indus civilization.

Ghaggar-Hakra River
There may have been another large river that ran parallel to and east of the Indus at some time in the past. The northern part of its now usually dry bed is called "Ghaggar" in India and "Hakra" in Pakistan. This group of channels is sometimes referred to as "Saraswati" and is associated by some with the Saraswati River of theRg Veda).

Its lost banks are slowly being traced by researchers. Along and within its dry bed, archaeologists are discovering a whole new set of ancient settlements.

[Taimoor Khan]

Both Indus river and IVC sites lie in India , so don't know what your retarded arse is talking about lhandoo

Those site which are India are actually the proof of our ancestors and the land their conquered. The furthest IVC site both east or west of Paksitan belong to us by the virtue of Indus.

samjh aee chutiya?

Some "barsati nala" called Sarwasti river . LOL

Your bullshit has been debunked many times over. learn to live with the fact the IVC is a Pakistani civilization and your shitholes in east were once its subject.
