The most detailed 3D map of the universe is now being developed by DESI, which has already charted millions of galaxies.

Our leading model of the universe assumes dark energy to be constant across the universe and throughout time. Emerging evidence suggests that may not be the case.

We finally have the start of a detailed 3D map of the universe and the instrument capturing is only a few months into its mission.

Computer algorithms can model the universe, matching simulations to observations and revealing the distribution of dark matter.

During this time, it should be capable of creating a 3D map of the Universe going as far as 11 billion light years from our planet, and including 14,000 square degrees of the sky.

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument's (DESI) ongoing survey has created a map of the universe with over 7.5 million galaxies.

Scientists have created the largest and most detailed 3D map of the universe using an instrument that has mapped out more galaxies than all other three-dimensional surveys combined.

The map is only 10 percent finished, and scientists hope it will help them unlock mysteries about dark energy and the fate of the universe.

These proposed projects, to construct what are known as “Stage Five” spectroscopic facilities, would produce even more comprehensive 3D maps of the universe than DESI, going back 12 billion years—only ...

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 ...

Dryly titled "Data Release 9," SDSS-III's latest collection of deep-space imagery takes the crown as the largest 3D map of the universe in existence. Data Release 9 was made using a 2.5-mete wide ...

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 ...
