About this event

This is the premiere screening of this show for the David M. Brown Planetarium.

DESI, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, is creating the most detailed map of our nearby universe using an instrument that can measure the spectra of many galaxies at once. Dive into modern cosmology, and fly through simulations of the some of the largest structures in the universe, based on DESI data. Take a trip to Kitt Peak to see footage of the telescope in action and get to know the amazing people from all over the world who are making this research possible.
