From Sky and Telescope, Jan. 17, 2018: Free, detailed information on 400 million astronomical objects, anybody? Just visit the website of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) – it’s there for the taking.
Scientists on the Dark Energy Survey announced the public release of their first three years of data. This first major release of data includes information on about 400 million astronomical objects.
A team of scientists using the Dark Energy Camera was among the first to observe the fiery aftermath of a recently detected burst of gravitational waves, recording images of the first confirmed explosion from two colliding neutron stars ever seen by astronomers.
Dark Energy Survey scientists have unveiled the most accurate measurement ever made of the present large-scale structure of the universe, and their findings support the dark matter/dark energy model.
The Fermilab Art Gallery welcomes “Art of Darkness,” a new exhibit of images from the Dark Energy Survey, including dazzling pictures of the cosmos captured with the Dark Energy Camera.
Before the Dark Energy Survey began in August 2013, scientists spent months testing the Dark Energy Camera, putting it through its paces. Now, catalogs of galaxies and stars derived from the data collected during the Science Verification season have been released to the public.
