Glossary term: Kosmos

Description: Istilah kosmos menggambarkan keagungan segala sesuatu dan memiliki akar-akar filosofis yang dalam. Meskipun istilah kosmos digunakan secara sinonim dengan alam semesta, namun keduanya memiliki perbedaan yang halus. Kosmos berasal dari kata Yunani kosmos, yang secara kasar menyiratkan harmoni atau keteraturan, dan merupakan istilah yang mencakup semua untuk susunan yang teratur dari sebuah sistem, di mana Alam Semesta adalah bagiannya. Meskipun demikian, dapat dikatakan bahwa alam semesta itu sendiri merupakan sebuah sistem yang teratur, dan karenanya dapat disebut sebagai kosmos. Karena sistem yang teratur sampai derajat tertentu dapat dijelaskan oleh hukum fisika, maka kata "kosmos" dapat diperluas untuk menangkap gagasan tentang suatu dunia yang dapat dijelaskan oleh hukum fisika.

The Hubble Ultra Deep Field showing around 10,000 galaxies of various ages, sizes, shapes and colours.

Hubble Ultra Deep Field

Caption: This awe-inspiring image referred to as the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (HUDF), was obtained using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), by combining 800 exposures from 400 orbits of the HST, which equates to 11.3 days of total exposure time. The image shows nearly 10,000 galaxies and was taken in the direction of a patch of sky with the least amount of stars from the Milky Way galaxy in the field of view. The region of sky that the HST observed corresponds to 1/10 the angular size of the Full Moon, which is roughly equal to approximately a 1 millimeter-sized object placed 1 meter away. Every object in the image, except for the bright points with the crosshairs, are galaxies. As a consequence of the speed of light being a constant in a vacuum, the more distant an object, the further back in time we are observing. Therefore, the light from some of the galaxies in the HUDF image is from when the Universe as only a few hundred million years old. The HUDF image takes us through on a journey through space, and also in time.
