Dark Energy's 70% Universe Dominance Revealed: Scientists Capture Clearest Image
- •Scientists from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) have captured the clearest and deepest image of space, revealing insights into dark energy.
- •Dark energy, a mysterious force comprising 70% of the universe, is responsible for its accelerating expansion, counteracting gravity.
- •The DES research, involving 400 scientists over 6 years, used the DECam camera in Chile to collect data from over 660 million galaxies.
- •The survey's final results provide crucial data on dark energy's behavior and challenge existing theories about its constancy.
- •Gravitational lensing was used to map matter and energy distribution, indirectly measuring dark energy's effects and structure of the universe.
Why It Matters: Scientists have achieved a major breakthrough in understanding dark energy, revealing its clearest image and behavior.
