A New Telescope is Ready to Start Searching for Answers to Explain Dark Energy

One of the biggest mysteries in astronomy right now is: what is dark energy? Fortunately, new instruments are now coming online to help astronomers get to the bottom of this puzzling discovery. The newest telescope is the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, or DESI, which is a collaboration between several nations. This telescope will spend the next 5 years building a 3-dimensional map of the Universe in unprecedented detail, mapping out the distribution of matter.
