Weave: New device will investigate Milky Way’s origins
A new device will help reconstruct the formation of the Milky Way in unprecedented detail. …
Weave is able to calculate the speed, direction, age and composition of each star it observes, essentially creating a motion picture of stars moving in the Milky Way. According to Prof Dalton, by extrapolating backwards, it will be possible to reconstruct the entire formation of the Milky Way in detail never seen before.
