DESI Survey
@desisurvey
The DESI Survey will measure the properties of Dark Energy using a survey of 30+ million galaxy redshifts.
- Breaking news!🎉 Today we announce the most precise measurements of our expanding Universe using the BAO signal in 6.1 Million galaxies and quasars from Year 1, tracing dark energy through cosmic time. See @BerkeleyLab PR at newscenter.lbl.gov/2024/04/04/des… 1/10 📸 Credit: @ClaireLamman
- The first #JWST image is truly marvellous, congratulations to our colleagues for this great achievement! Of course we were curious how it compares to our ground-based legacy survey in the same field of view: cdn.knightlab.com/libs/juxtapose…
GIF - 1/🥳🌌 Exciting news! We're launching the DESI Early Data Release, featuring spectra from the Survey Validation phase (Dec20 - May21). Immerse yourself in the cosmos with ~750k galaxies from our "1% survey." Keep reading for a journey into the universe! (📹Credits: David Kirkby)
00:00 - 🎉 Breaking Records with DESI! ✨ Last week, our survey achieved a groundbreaking milestone by observing a staggering 40 MILLION SPECTRA! 🔭 This marks the largest spectroscopic sample ever obtained, showcasing the power of DESI's capabilities. 🚀 1/5

- 🚨 BIG NEWS ALERT! 🚨 We’re just 24 HOURS AWAY from a MAJOR DESI release! 🌉🔭 Tomorrow at 3 PM PT, DESI is unveiling DR1, our first official Data Release—the largest dataset of its kind, packed with information on 18.7 million galaxies, quasars, and stars! But that’s not all…
- Tonight we witnessed a partial lunar eclipse, captured here by the weather cam at Kitt Peak National Observatory. #DESI5000 #LunarEclipse
00:00 - 🎉DESI released another set of papers based on Y1 data. These new results provide an extended, “full-shape” analysis of the Y1 data by looking at how galaxies and quasars cluster on different scales, both in the plane of the sky and along the line of sight in redshift space.
- After only 7 months we have measured the spectra of 7.5 million galaxies, surpassing the number of all extragalactic spectra ever measured before! GoDESI! noirlab.edu/public/news/no… #DESI5000 #DarkEnergy
