The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has created the largest high-resolution 3D map of the universe. The work involved observing more than 47 million galaxies and quasars as well as 20 million stars over a five-year period. Researchers will now use the vast dataset to probe the nature of dark energy.
DESI, which began collecting data in 2021, is mounted on the Nicholas U Mayall 4-m Telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona. It comprises 5000 robot-controlled optical f
