A new way to study 3D maps of galaxies in the cosmos without compressing the data is revealing new information about the dark universe.

SPHEREx is slated to launch Feb. 27 on a SpaceX rocket. It is meant to map the entire night sky in infrared — something even ...

Shaped like a megaphone, the upcoming mission will map the entire sky in infrared light to answer big questions about the ...

According to NASA's SPHEREx mission details, the observatory will survey the entire sky using near-infrared light. Its goals include exploring how galaxies evolved, understanding the structure of the ...

Scientists use 3D galaxy maps to uncover hidden details about dark matter and the universe’s large-scale structure.

The project, called OpenUniverse, relied on the now-retired Theta supercomputer at the DOE’s (Department of Energy’s) Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. The supercomputer accomplished a process ...

This discrepancy is measured using a metric called Sigma 8 (σ8), which tracks the clumpiness of matter. Lower-than-expected ...

Scientists have created over a million simulated cosmic images using the power of supercomputers to anticipate the capabilities of NASA’s upcoming Roman Space Telescope. These synthetic images allow ...

and hence the distance to them in an expanding universe, in an observed volume of space. With such galactic distance measurements, it's actually possible to create a three-dimensional map of the ...
