Scientists to Map Known Universe

The radio telescope at Puerto Rico's Arecibo Observatory, powerful enough to hear planets forming several billion light years away, is receiving six more radio receivers to expand its range, scientists said Monday.

...

The 1,000-foot-wide parabolic receiver - composed of 38,000 aluminum tiles - allows researchers to listen to sounds in space instead of depending on optics, like the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope.

The information gathered will be compiled in a worldwide database scientists can access on the Internet, said Tony Acevedo, head of Arecibo's scientific services.

"The idea is that it is public," Acevedo said Monday. "Scientists can use it as they wish."
