After five years of mapping the sky in 3D — an area that stretches from Earth’s front porch to about 11 billion light-years away — researchers at the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) ...

In 1998, astronomers discovered dark energy. The finding, which transformed our conception of the cosmos, came with a little-known consequence: It threw a wrench into the already daunting task of ...

Dark energy is still one of the greatest cosmic mysteries. For all the time, money and telescopes that humanity has used to uncover its nature, scientists are still asking a fundamental question: What ...

After 25 years of planning, six years of data collection, and six more years of analysis, scientists have published a portion of the final results of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) — the largest, most ...
