The map, which stretches halfway back in time to the beginning of the Universe, also reveals how dark matter has recently grown increasingly clumpy as it continues to collapse under gravity.

Our leading model of the universe assumes dark energy to be constant across the universe and throughout time. Emerging evidence suggests that may not be the case.

The team explores one of the greatest discoveries of modern astronomy - that our universe is expanding - and the new ...

Computer algorithms can model the universe, matching simulations to observations and revealing the distribution of dark matter.

During this time, it should be capable of creating a 3D map of the Universe going as far as 11 billion light years from our planet, and including 14,000 square degrees of the sky.

Dryly titled "Data Release 9," SDSS-III's latest collection of deep-space imagery takes the crown as the largest 3D map of the universe in existence. Data Release 9 was made using a 2.5-mete wide ...

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 ...

These proposed projects, to construct what are known as “Stage Five” spectroscopic facilities, would produce even more comprehensive 3D maps of the universe than DESI, going back 12 billion years—only ...

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 ...

This week, see the first cosmic images taken by the Euclid telescope, read 265-year-old letters, uncover the volcanic threat lurking beneath Italy, and more.

Astronomers have created the largest ever 3D map of 1 million distant galaxies otherwise obscured by the Milky Way's dwarf galaxy neighbors, the Magellanic Clouds.

The telescope, launched in July, was designed to create the most detailed 3D map of the hidden “dark side” of the universe.
