I was kinda tired of seeing this epic photo online only in black and white, so I decided to jazz it up with some colours!

Amazing research out today:

The DESI survey has created the largest-ever 3D map of the structure of the universe.

It has also found intriguing (though tentative) evidence that cosmic "dark energy" is not what we thought -- a hint of new, unknown physics.

Seriously, how cool is this?

Cosmologists have now measured how the expansion of the universe changes over time, to an accuracy of 1%.

They did it by finding frozen sound waves from the Big Bang, and then tracking them across 11 billion years. People can do these things!

The first-ever view of a solar eclipse from the surface of the Moon. That's the Earth eclipsing the Sun!

Images captured by NASA's Surveyor 3 lunar lander on April 24, 1967.
