Outer edge of the universe encounters space-time curvature and the 3D characteristics get interfaced with the 5-D Hyperspace
The outer edge of the Universe is invisible and is also filled with suspense. The Hubble telescope has obtained images of quite a bit of the universe but not the real edge.
According to scientists, the outer edge of the universe encounters space-time curvature and the 3D characteristics get interfaced with the 5-D Hyperspace. That makes it impossible for any 3-D telescopes to ever view the real edge of our universe.
Peering farther than ever before toward the beginning of time, the Hubble Space Telescope has sent back pictures of the oldest, most distant galaxies astronomers have seen.
A sensitive new infrared camera has detected at least 10 objects glowing faintly at a distance of 12 billion light-years - about 70 billion trillion miles - 95 percent of the way to what may be the outer edge of our universe.
The light picked up from those ancient galaxies was emitted less than a billion years after the big bang - the mysterious explosion when scientists believe the universe was born. Because space is so vast, it took the rays all that time to reach the vicinity of Earth.
With infrared camera’s more sensitive vision, it spotted numerous faint objects that Hubble previously had missed or had seen only bits and pieces of. Some galaxies that seemed lumpy or broken in the older pictures now appear smooth and round, like our own Milky Way, because the infrared camera was able to fill in the invisible parts.
NASA's Next Generation Space Telescope, scheduled to be launched in 2007, may provide definitive answers. Its lens will be three times bigger than Hubble's, and it will be able to see objects 20 to 25 times fainter, according to Ed Weiler, head of NASA's office of space science.
Some astronomers hope it will let them view the very edge of the universe, the "dark zone" beyond which there is no stars or galaxies.
