Astrophysicists hope a map created by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument will help answer questions about the expansion of the universe

The instrument, mounted on a telescope in Arizona, works by measuring how much the light emitted by distant galaxies shifts towards longer wavelengths. This property, called the

DESI is expected to catalogue red shifts from over 35 million galaxies by 2026. The instrument can collect red shift data from 5000 different locations in the universe at any one time via 5000 robotically-controlled optical fibres. “In five years, we hope that we will find a deviation from this model of cosmology that will give us a hint of what really happens,” Guy says. “Because today we are a little bit stuck in a simple model that describes perfectly well the data [we have], but doesn’t give us any new information.”

Maybe the universe isn't expanding, maybe we are shrinking !? Would we know if our 'universe' was being warped by the dark matter we cannot' directly observe or measure ?

The rotating universe is currently expanding faster & faster because its overall centrifugal force is still increasing thanks to the centrifugal forces from the two largest internal rotating systems whose rotating periods are longer than the time since the Big Bang. What mystery?

I can't get my head around the vastness of the universe.

that's it?

Google Universe please

And how many stars in each galaxy ? Astropartigirl

Is it really 3D at that scale ?

Hunting galaxies far far away: Here's how anyone can explore the universeIn just our observable universe, we estimate there are over 2 trillion galaxies! [ Innovate ] I see one. And another. If only we existed on a time scale so our eyes could perceive galaxies in the sky. And my family finds it odd when I say I am thankful for optical telescopes when thanksgiving comes around. I will just bust out this picture next year.

Palmetto Maps 107 Million Roofs In US While Opposition To Rooftop Solar GrowsAs more new solar technologies come available, the utility industry is pedaling furiously to stop them from disrupting their business model. Monopolies (in the allegedly land of freedom)! Same as in Venezuela or Russia: money knows no Land. Want rooftop solar for your personal use. That's fine. That is your property. Want to put it into the grid. The grid owner might not want that. Can create major issues for grid owner. If you getting rooftop solar. Get some storage. This way you don't waste your excess.
