Scientists using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument have unveiled the largest 3D map of the universe ever. The results suggest that dark energy, the mysterious force pulling the universe apart, ...

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 ...

Astronomers have constructed the largest-ever three-dimensional map of massive galaxies and distant black holes, which will help the investigation of the mysterious “dark matter” and “dark energy” ...

A team of top astronomers has joined forces to build a three-dimensional map of the universe which they hope will provide some answers on the make-up of dark energy. A group of astronomers looking to ...

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 ...

Astronomers seem to have pulled back a new curtain on the early universe. A massive 3D map now shows a "sea of light" that ...
