On a quiet mountaintop in southern Arizona, 5,000 robotic eyes scan the sky every night, each locking onto a galaxy billions of light-years away. This interesting instrument, called DESI, has now ...

One of the greatest mysteries in cosmology is the nature of what we refer to as dark energy. This mysterious force drives the expansion of the universe to accelerate. Dark energy is an unknown ...

Last year, we reported on an exciting hint of new physics in the first data analysis results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)—namely that the dark energy, rather than being ...

In 2024 a shockwave rippled through the astronomical world, shaking it to the core. The disturbance didn’t come from some astral disaster at the solar system’s doorstep, however. Rather it arrived via ...

Dark energy is one of those cosmological features that we are still learning about. While we can't see it directly, we can most famously observe its effects on the universe—primarily how it is causing ...
