研究人員完成全新的宇宙 3D 地圖
New 3D Map of the Universe Completed by Researchers
研究人員在天文學領域取得了一項里程碑式的成就,完成了史上最全面的宇宙3D地圖。
Researchers have reached a landmark achievement in astronomy with the completion of the most comprehensive 3D map of the universe.
在勞倫斯伯克萊國家實驗室的領導下,暗能量光譜儀(DESI)計畫完成了為期五年的調查,繪製了超過4700萬個星系和類星體的方位。
Led by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) project finished its five-year survey, charting the positions of over 47 million galaxies and quasars.
DESI位於亞利桑那州,利用5000個機械光纖「眼睛」來測量光線在太空中傳播的方式。
Located in Arizona, DESI utilizes 5,000 robotic fiber-optic "eyes" to measure how light travels through space.
這些龐大的數據蒐集,讓科學家得以回溯長達110億年的宇宙歷史。
This massive data collection allows scientists to peer back up to 11 billion years into cosmic history.
該計畫的主要目標是了解「暗能量」,即推動宇宙加速膨脹的神祕力量。
The primary goal is to understand "dark energy," the mysterious force driving the universe's accelerating expansion.
有趣的是,初步數據表明暗能量可能會隨時間變化,這挑戰了以往的科學模型。
Interestingly, early data suggests that dark energy might change over time, challenging previous scientific models.
這項涉及900名研究人員的全球合作項目,達到了過去被認為是不可能的精確度。
This global collaboration involving 900 researchers has achieved an accuracy level once thought impossible.
隨著運作延長至2028年,該計畫將繼續完善我們對宇宙網的理解。
With operations extending through 2028, the project will continue to refine our understanding of the cosmic web.
這張宏偉的地圖為後代研究星系演化留下了珍貴的遺產,有效地改變了我們對宇宙運作模式的典範。
This monumental map serves as a legacy for future generations to study galaxy evolution, effectively shifting our paradigm of how the universe functions.
它證明了國際團隊合作與先進技術能揭示我們存在的最深奧祕。
It stands as a testament to what international teamwork and advanced technology can reveal about the deepest secrets of our existence.
