Astro Brief: Changing Dark Energy

DESI Collaboration/DOE/KPNO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/P. Horálek (Institute of Physics in Opava)

A mysterious force guides the fate of our universe.

A measurable, but unknown force dominates the cosmos — dark energy. It is responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe, but it's nature remains unknown. Now, new technologies are being developed to better understand it, including a cutting-edge telescope in Arizona aiming to create a 3D map of the universe.

Join us this week as Mike delves into one of the universe's greatest mysteries.

Astro Brief is a collaboration between KSMU, the Missouri Space Grant, and MSU's Department of Physics, Astronomy and Materials Science. Hosted by Dr. Mike Reed, Astro Brief focuses on astronomical events, the field of astronomy, and astronomy-related guests. It airs Thursdays at 9:45 am on KSMU.

Distinguished Professor of the Missouri State University Department of Physics, Astronomy and Materials Science.
