Astronomers have produced the largest 3D map of the universe, which can be explored in an interactive VR video. In the process, they’ve uncovered some tantalizing hints that our understanding of ...

It has been over two decades since the discovery of dark energy. Scientists have therefore had more than 20 years to decode the secrets of this invisible substance that appears to be pulling the ...

Cosmologists are finally beginning to sketch a coherent picture of the universe we cannot see, using exquisitely detailed ...

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 ...

An enormous map of the universe and how it's changed over time has been made by scientists, and may change how we think about the cosmos and its expansion. This map, made using data gathered by the ...

Less than a year into its mission, NASA’s SPHEREx has already completed its first full survey of the sky, producing a near-infrared map that captures the entire cosmos in a staggering 102 colors.

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 ...

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 ...

The powerful Euclid telescope has captured millions of stars and galaxies in a dazzling new mosaic — and it represents just the first piece of a massive puzzle the observatory has been designed to ...

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument will create the clearest three-dimensional map yet of one-third of the sky. Maps do more than tell us where we are. Rich with information elegantly arranged, ...

Astronomers plan to gain insight into the existence of the ‘mysterious’ dark matter by creating the first three-dimensional map of the universe, a project lead by UA astronomer Daniel Eisenstein. The ...
