“Mapping the Universe with Desi”
Fulldome Planetarium Show
5000 Eyes: Mapping the Universe with DESI is a fulldome film about the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) which is creating the most detailed map of our nearby universe by measuring the spectra of as many as 5,000 galaxies at once. The film was created by Fiske Planetarium in collaboration with DESI scientists. Experience the largest structures in the universe as never seen before by flying through a portion of DESI’s initial data. Dive into modern cosmology, plus the scientific background and motivation for building a large map of galaxies.
