A massive survey of the cosmos is revealing new details of one of the most mysterious facets of the universe, dark energy. Intriguingly, when combined with other observations, the data hint that dark energy, commonly thought to maintain a constant density over time, might evolve along with the cosmos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is \u201can adrenaline shot to the cosmology community,\u201d says physicist Daniel Scolnic of Duke University, who was not involved with the new study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dark energy, an invisible enigma that causes the universe\u2019s expansion to speed up over time, is poorly understood, despite making up the bulk of the universe\u2019s contents. To explore that puzzle, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, DESI, has produced the largest 3-D map of the universe to date, researchers report April 4 in 10 papers posted on the\u00a0DESI website<\/a>, and in\u00a0talks at a meeting of the American Physical Society<\/a> held in Sacramento, Calif. By analyzing patterns in the distributions of galaxies and other objects on that map, scientists can determine the history of how the universe expanded over time.<\/p>\n\n\n
