The largest three-dimensional map of the universe ever created. This map, which includes millions of galaxies, led to very important findings about dark energy, which enables the expansion of the universe.
Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)) has been helping scientists map the universe for years. Now, a 3D map created with the help of DESI has been shared. This map is the universe largest 3D map ever It was described as.
This map, which provides a glimpse into the 11 billion-year expansion adventure of the universe and was created with the help of 5000 small robots. more than 6 million Contains the galaxy. What researchers want to examine with the map is to see the effects of “dark energy”, which we can call the force that causes the expansion of the universe and is still a mysterious subject.
Dark energy may be “evolving”
The map gives researchers a glimpse into the young years of the universe. In this way, they can examine how fast the universe is expanding at different times. The study also shows this more accurately than ever before. from 1% It allows you to do it with greater precision.
The findings confirm that the universe is expanding, as already predicted. However, there is one point that surprises scientists. It’s also about dark energy. According to the statements, the data show that this mysterious power is contrary to what has been known so far. is not constant over time showed and it was seen that everything we knew could change.

So, rather than being constant, dark energy has evolved over the history of the universe. experienced changes it could be. One of the authors of the study, Dr. Seshadri Nadathur said about this, “What we see are hints that it has changed over time. “This is very exciting because our standard models of dark energy are not like that.” he said.
DESI’s research will continue in the coming years and will enable us to obtain new information about the mysteries of the universe. It is planned that 37 million galaxies will be mapped when the project is completed. The researchers add that they will try to confirm what was observed in this study with more data, and that we can make great strides in learning about the evolution of our universe.
