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, ...

Astronomers have produced the largest 3D map of the universe, which can be explored in an interactive VR video. In the process, they’ve uncovered some tantalizing hints that our understanding of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Astronomers have mapped the universe's quasars in unprecedented detail thanks to a ream of accidental observations from the Gaia observatory. The new "3D catalog" is expected to offer researchers ...

The newest big-name supercomputer might help solve some of astrophysics' most important questions. VentureBeat reports the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center has officially dedicated ...
