For astronomers, the challenge of mapping the Universe has been similar to mapping a city from night-time aerial snapshots showing only streetlights. These pick out a few interesting neighbourhoods, ...

The most detailed 3D map of the universe is now being developed by DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument). This giant space research instrument is currently stationed in the Nicholas U. Mayall ...

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (or DESI for short) has created the largest 3D map of the universe we've ever seen. DESI created the map over the course of seven months. Each month, DESI ...

It has been over two decades since the discovery of dark energy. Scientists have therefore had more than 20 years to decode the secrets of this invisible substance that appears to be pulling the ...

Scientists created the most accurate three-dimensional map of star-formation regions in our Milky Way galaxy, based on data from the European Space Agency's Gaia space telescope. This map will teach ...

Physicists have created what has been called the largest and most detailed map of the universe ever—and it's not even close to being finished yet. The map of the universe was created by the Dark ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A diagram-type image representing stellar shells and tidal streams in haloes of nearby galaxies. ...

New results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) suggest that the unknown force accelerating the expansion of the universe isn't what we believed it to be. This hints that our best ...

Scientists have proposed new instruments that would use spectroscopy to decode dark matter, dark energy and cosmic inflation. Telescope images can tell us a whole lot about celestial objects: where ...

This is one big map. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A modified telescope in Arizona has produced an interim map, which is ...

Astronomers have constructed the largest-ever three-dimensional map of massive galaxies and distant black holes, which will help the investigation of the mysterious “dark matter” and “dark energy” ...

A team of top astronomers has joined forces to build a three-dimensional map of the universe which they hope will provide some answers on the make-up of dark energy. A group of astronomers looking to ...
