A new telescope view has revealed hundreds of galaxies that were previously obscured by the Milky Way's bulk.

 

Scientists used an Australian radio telescope famous for assisting with the moon landings to peer through the gas and dust of the Milky Way, and uncovered 883 galaxies hidden behind it — one-third of which were never observed before. You can see how the hidden galaxies were found in this video.

 

This new view of the region could help explain something called the Great Attractor, which is a mysterious spot in the universe whose strong gravity pulls on the Milky Way and thousands of other galaxies with "the force equivalent to a million billion suns," researchers said in a statement. Scientists have known about the phenomenon since the 1970s.

That damned Aussie radio telescope again ... one day some Romulan battle cruiser is gonna detect they're getting probed by it, and then all hell is gonna break loose...

They were wondering what the interference was in their TV broadcasts from Earth.
