Dark Energy Survey

The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is a scientific project that aims to understand the mysterious force known as dark energy, which is believed to be driving the accelerated expansion of the universe. Conducted from 2013 to 2019 using a powerful telescope in Chile, DES surveys the night sky, capturing detailed images of galaxies, galaxy clusters, and supernovae. By studying their distribution and behavior, scientists gather data to explore the properties of dark energy and its impact on the cosmos, helping to unravel fundamental questions about the universe's fate and its underlying structure.
