GUSTO will map large sections of the plane of our Milky Way galaxy as well as the LMC. These observations of the LMC are important because it’s thought that this relatively nearby dwarf galaxy most resembles the type of primordial galaxies from near the beginning of time. So, GUSTO will provide researchers with the latest data on the inner workings of our Milky Way while its observations of the LMC will give the team a nearby glimpse into the earliest galaxies in the cosmos. GUSTO’s balloon-borne, 0.85-m telescope and terahertz receivers will provide the spectral and spatial resolution needed to untangle the complexities of the interstellar medium, says NASA. GUSTO will provide a comprehensive understanding of the inner workings of the Milky Way and the nearby dwarf galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), by surveying them in three important interstellar lines: ionized carbon, ionized nitrogen, and neutral oxygen, says Walker. NASA, ESA, and Hubble Heritage TeamĪnd most importantly, it’s where some 4.6 billion years ago, our solar system’s progenitor molecular cloud coalesced to begin our own incredible journey from the mists of deep space to the Earth we inhabit today. and map out large sections of the plane of our Milky Way galaxy and the Large Magellanic Cloud. NASA has selected a science mission that will untangle the complexities of the interstellar medium.
