DESI's first dataset maps 18.7 million celestial objects, aiding dark energy, galaxy, and universe expansion studies.

GS-z13-1, marks the earliest sign yet spotted of the era of cosmic reionization at 330 million years after the Big Bang.

Cosmologists are using cutting-edge computational tools to uncover the secrets of dark matter and dark energy, which together ...

The fate of the universe hinges on the balance between matter and dark energy: the fundamental ingredient that drives its accelerating expansion.

New insights from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope offer unprecedented images of the universe at 380,000 years old, revealing ...

DESI's main survey began in 2021 and relies on baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) to create a map of how matter is distributed in the universe. The survey covers an enormous volume of the universe ...

"We hope to see the imprints of the very early universe by making the largest 3D map of galaxies that has ever existed," said Elisabeth Krause, an associate professor of astronomy and physics who ...

The telescope launched in 2023, aiming to chart one third of the sky -- encompassing 1.5 billion galaxies -- to create what has been billed as humanity's most accurate 3D map of the universe.

This allows scientists to calculate the age and distance of these objects, and create a map of the universe so they can detect patterns and trace its history. Scientists have known for a century that ...
