A massive cosmic milestone has just been reached: scientists have completed the largest high-resolution 3D map of the universe ever created. Built using data from over 47 million galaxies and quasars, this map could unlock new clues about dark energy—the mysterious force driving the universe’s expansion. Despite setbacks like wildfire disruptions, the international DESI collaboration powered thro…

This week we have one of the first mapping of our universe from DES, from just 3% of the DES data. The DES dark matter map is not the first of its kind. Several pioneering
analyses have come before it, most notably the Canada-France-Ha…
