Landscape of electricity pylon and wind turbines Image - This three-minute video describes the focal plane, a key component for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument. The focal plane will be equipped with 5,000 swiveling robots that are designed to point at pre-selected galaxies and gather their light. The measurements will be used to build the largest 3D map of the universe.

A new study, which involved X-ray experiments at Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source, has revealed new clues that may help to unravel the formation of this haze.
