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 capture and study the light from about 30 million galaxies and other distant objects in the universe...

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 the Andromeda Galaxy, but also distant galaxies and quasars. The example DESI spectrum that overlays...

 E-Mail A five-year quest to map the universe and unravel the mysteries of "dark energy" is beginning officially today, and University of Michigan researchers were instrumental in the project's development. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, or DESI, is an international collaboration under the aegis of the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory with primary funding from DOE's Office of Science. The project aims to create a 3D map of the universe, unraveling the mysterious dark energy. To complete its quest, the instrument will capture and study the light from ten...

Cohen, who met with U.S. President Joe Biden and also CIA Director William Burns in Washington last week, is expected to continue with his farewell events over the next month. The highlight will be a party scheduled for the final week of May, apparently in the spacious hall of a new building at Mossad headquarters in Gli...
