En julio de 2024, Sunrise III completó con éxito un vuelo de casi una semana de duración, recorriendo la distancia que separa el norte de Suecia y el noroeste de Canadá, durante el cual recopiló alrededorAdvertised on -
The European Space Agency’s Euclid mission has released its first major batch of data. With this release, which captures the light of more than a billion objects and covers an area of sky as big as 9500 full Moons, ESA’s dark Universe ‘detective’ lays the foundation for its largest-ever 3D map of the cosmos. Launched in 2023, ESA’s Euclid space mission will map the sky for 6 years to create the largest and most accurate 3D map of the Universe. Spain has an important role in the mission, with a prominent role in the Euclid Consortium. The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC)Advertised on -
Last night, the 5,000 fibre-optic ‘eyes’ of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) reached a major milestone, having fully covered the area originally planned for its map of the universe. Thus, DESI’s five-year programme has concluded ahead of schedule and with far more data than expected, resulting in the largest high-resolution 3D map of the universe ever produced. This map will enable researchers to explore dark energy, which accounts for 70% of the universe and drives its accelerated expansion. By comparing how galaxies were distributed in the past with their currentAdvertised on
