The Largest 3D Map Ever
Summary
A recently developed scientific instrument has been added to a telescope in Kitt Peak National Observatory. This instrument is able to create a map with its focal plane that consists of 5,000 robotic automated sensors each accompanied with a fiber optic cable to intake light from all corners of the universe. Being able to map the structural basis of our universe will open a whole new plane of possibilities in the field of Physics. After proper examination of the data produced by this revolutionary investigation, scientists should be able to measure how much of the universe is expanding and how fast. The Director of DESI, Michael Levi, recently stated, “after a decade in planning and R&D, installation and assembly, we are delighted that DESI can soon begin its quest to unravel the mystery of dark energy.” Being able to track the universe in the largest 3D map ever, will allow scientists to test and discover past theories and perhaps even develop new astronomical laws.
