 Over the last five years, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has measured the spectra of more than 30 million galaxies and 3 million quasars to determine how fast the universe expanded over 11 billion years. |
Co-led by astronomers at UC Santa Cruz, DESI announced the creation of the largest 3-D map of our cosmos ever created, thanks to a powerful instrument mounted atop a telescope in Arizona with a robotic array of 5,000 fiber-optic “eyes” that look into the night sky. DESI’s announcement is the result of an ongoing international collaboration comprising more than 900 researchers from over 70 institutions. |
