Astronomers have produced the largest 3D map of the universe, which can be explored in an interactive VR video. In the process, they’ve uncovered some tantalizing hints that our understanding of ...

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 ...

The powerful Euclid telescope has captured millions of stars and galaxies in a dazzling new mosaic — and it represents just the first piece of a massive puzzle the observatory has been designed to ...

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” ...

DESI has made the largest 3D map of our universe to date. Earth is at the center of this thin slice of the full map. In the magnified section, it is easy to see the underlying structure of matter in ...

Measuring 93 billion light-years in diameter, the universe is so big that it can be overwhelming to envisage. Despite its ...

A team of top astronomers has joined forces to build a three-dimensional map of the universe which they hope will provide some answers on the make-up of dark energy. A group of astronomers looking to ...

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 ...

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 ...

A massive survey of the cosmos is revealing new details of one of the most mysterious facets of the universe, dark energy. Intriguingly, when combined with other observations, the data hint that dark ...

“From the outset of the project in the late 80’s, one of our key goals has been a precision measurement of how galaxies cluster under the influence of gravity”, explained Richard Kron, SDSS’s director ...
