Summary[edit]

Description
English: A slice through the 3D map of galaxies from the first few months of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). The Earth is at the center, with the furthest galaxies plotted at distances of 10 billion light years. Each point represents one galaxy. This version of the DESI map shows a subset of 400,000 of the 35 million galaxies that will be in the final map.
Español: Un corte a través del mapa 3D de galaxias de los primeros meses del Instrumento Espectroscópico de Energía Oscura (DESI). La Tierra está al centro, con las galaxias más lejanas trazadas a distancias de 10 mil millones de años luz. Cada punto representa una galaxia. Esta versión del mapa DESI muestra un subconjunto de 400.000 de las 35 millones de galaxias que estarán en el mapa final.
