Professor Carlos Frenk, Ogden Professor of Fundamental Physics at Durham University’s Institute for Computational Cosmology A CUTTING-edge new telescope instrument designed and built by an international team including Durham University has been officially launched. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) aims to create the most extensive 3D map of the universe to date and reveal the nature of the mysterious dark energy that scientists believe is driving its expansion. DESI will ...

Date Time Successful Start of Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Follows Record-Setting Trial Run The disk of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), which spans more than 3 degrees, is targeted by a single DESI pointing, represented by the large, pale green, circular overlay. The smaller circles within this overlay represent the regions accessible to each of the 5000 DESI robotic fiber positioners. In this sample, the 5000 spectra that were simultaneously collected by DESI include not only stars within ...
