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.

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 ...

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.

Scientists assembled the first piece of the map, which includes 208 gigapixels, from 260 observations made between March 25 and April 8.

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

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 ...

This week, see the first cosmic images taken by the Euclid telescope, read 265-year-old letters, uncover the volcanic threat lurking beneath Italy, and more.

From this information, scientists can create a 3D map of the universe, allowing them to observe clusters of galaxies and in turn, understand the very history of how the universe was formed. Galaxy ...

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.

Especially in 3D, because what we see when we look up is a 2D projection of the 3D cosmos. Before DESI could even get started, researchers needed to create a more detailed 2D map of the universe.

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 ...

The telescope, launched in July, was designed to create the most detailed 3D map of the hidden “dark side” of the universe.
