Massive radio survey reveals our universe's structure at the largest scales

A large red and blue ying-yang like oval is in space, filled with dots and a red line in the center with a black circle and arrow shooting off, upward to the right, labeled, 'solar system motion'.

When we look out into the universe with our unaided eyes, we are really only seeing a small chunk of what's actually there. That's because there are parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that our visual faculties are not sensitive to.

Radiation is being emitted by all manner of cosmic phenomena across this spectrum, yet we're only able to physically see wavelengths within the visible light range without the help of external tools — but luckily, astronomers have access to telescopes that allow them to observe the universe across this continuum.
