DESI Completes Its Epic 3D Map, Hinting that Dark Energy Might Be Changing
On top of Kitt Peak in the Arizona Desert, a robotic surveyor just completed a five year mission to catalogue the positions of tens of millions of galaxies. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has now created the largest, most detailed 3D map of our universe ever constructed. And it’s not done yet, its main mission has been extended through 2028.
This massive 3D map of 47 million galaxies could unlock dark energy
A massive cosmic milestone has just been reached: scientists have completed the largest high-resolution 3D map of the universe ever created. Built using data from over 47 million galaxies and quasars, this map could unlock new clues about dark energy—the mysterious force driving the universe’s expansion. Despite setbacks like wildfire disruptions, the international DESI collaboration powered through, gathering an unprecedented dataset that alrea…
Scientists have completed the creation of the largest high-precision 3D map of the universe, using data from more than 47 million galaxies and quasars. It could help understand dark energy, the force that accelerates the expansion of space.
DESI instrument captures over 47 million galaxies and distant quasars • Measurements suggest that the influence of dark energy is weakening over time • New findings may lead to a reassessment of the entire cosmological model
Revolutionizing Cosmology: The Unveiling of a 3D Map of 47 Million Galaxies and Its Implications for Dark Energy
The Dawn of a New Era in Cosmology In a groundbreaking achievement, scientists have successfully completed the largest high-resolution 3D map of the universe, capturing data from over 47 million galaxies and quasars, in addition to 20 million stars. This monumental project was undertaken by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), which has operated efficiently for five years, finishing ahead of schedule with more data than initially ant…
