Astronomers Have Completed the Largest Map of Space. Yes, You Can Play With It.

Astronomers Have Completed the Largest Map of Space. The intricate, 5.6 trillion-pixel map covers approximately 75 percent of the sky and includes about 4 billion celestial objects. The new DESI map contains some of the highest resolution images of galaxies, like this one in the constellation Leo over 35 million light years from earth. The driving force behind our universe's accelerated expansion remains one of the greatest mysteries in astronomy. While this force, which scientists refer to as dark energy, pervades our universe, we know almost nothing about it.
