For astronomers, the challenge of mapping the Universe has been similar to mapping a city from night-time aerial snapshots showing only streetlights. These pick out a few interesting neighbourhoods, ...

Data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument's (DESI's) first survey run has produced the largest and most detailed 3D map of the universe so far. The stunning image reveals the gigantic cosmic ...

After five years of peering into the deepest reaches of space, researchers have released what they call the "largest three-dimensional map of the universe" ever. No, you cannot see your house. The ...

The history of the Universe, as far back as we can see using a variety of tools and telescopes, out to the maximum present depth of SDSS. We are now up to SDSS-16, which can go all the way back to ...

A 20-year study of the night sky has allowed astronomers to produce a comprehensive 3D map of the universe, covering 11 billion years of expansion. A new analysis of this map has highlighted a ...

Hidden information in maps of galaxies spread across the universe could soon come forth, thanks to a new way of interrogating ...

In this video, the channel—which sources its research from astrophysicists and the like—goes over the sizes of different black holes in the universe. As with other cosmological size comparisons, ...

Scientists recently finished creating the largest and most detailed 3D map of the universe ever. The map was created with the help of a special instrument that picks up radiation from distant bodies ...

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (or DESI for short) has created the largest 3D map of the universe we've ever seen. DESI created the map over the course of seven months. Each month, DESI ...
