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, ...
Mapping the Universe’s vast structure no longer requires endless supercomputer time. Effort.jl brings cosmic modeling to laptops without sacrificing accuracy.
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 ...
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 created the most accurate three-dimensional map of star-formation regions in our Milky Way galaxy, based on data ...
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 are using radio pulses from space to find missing baryonic matter and learn about supermassive black holes, ...
Starting late last decade, the Mayall 4-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona began running something called the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument. DESI for short, it 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” ...
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 ...
Why it matters: Researchers at Berkeley Lab have created the largest 3D map of the universe, with a precision of 1 percent. But what they discovered is startling in its implications and raises ...
The team explores one of the greatest discoveries of modern astronomy - that our universe is expanding - and the new ...
