New results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) suggest that the unknown force accelerating the expansion of ...

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) is mapping millions of celestial objects to better understand dark energy—the ...

The telescope will capture a three-dimensional map of the universe, collecting data on more than 450 million galaxies and over 100 million stars ...

Our latest and best ever map of the early universe is five times more detailed than anything we have had before, but while it precisely backs up the leading model of the universe, it is also a ...

Physicists may need to come up with a new theory for how the universe works, after a dark energy experiment has produced confounding results.

The telescope aims to eventually chart one-third of the sky during its mission, capturing galaxies and stars. Scientists hope it will also shed light on the role of dark energy and dark matter in the ...

This is a 3D model of Surfers Paradise beach on the Gold Coast in Queensland. The model, generated by ABC News using hundreds of images captured from a drone, shows cliffs of sand more than 2 ...

Galaxies and galaxy clusters are not uniformly distributed throughout the universe; rather, they congregate into vast clusters interspersed with enormous voids where very few galaxies exist. The ...

NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov crossed into the ISS at 1:35 a.m. EDT after hatch opening procedures were completed.

By producing a 3D dust map in unrivalled detail, the Max Planck team aims to ... Dust plays a crucial role in the universe. It shields giant gas clouds from surrounding radiation during star ...

The planet’s puffiness helped turn its transmission spectrum into a 3D map of its atmosphere. As a star’s light passes through a planet’s atmosphere, each wavelength of that light penetrates ...
