A telescope that can see beyond your imagination
Before this you should know that what is Dark Energy. Now, Dark Energy was the name of the force that is accelerating the expansion of the Universe. Dark energy makes up 68% of the universe and Dark Matter makes up 27% and the remaining matter covers everything on Earth. Everything seen through the constituencies of different devices, just 5% of the Universe.
The scientists of Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) a US astronomical observatory have created a five year programme to map the universe in its most detailed survey, the goal of decoding Dark Energy with 5,000 mini telescopes.

Each of these mini telescopes will be able to detect a galaxy every 20 minutes, meaning that in a year this super telescope will have surveyed more galaxies in the universe than all other telescopes. This telescope can see objects 10 bn light years away, which means that it can tell us about cosmic events that occurred 10 bn years ago.
How does this telescope work ?
Researchers around the world participating in this study have attached an optical instrument to measure the spectrum of light from any source, called a Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) to the 4km Mayall telescope. DESI will measure the effect of Dark Energy on the expansion of the universe. DESI will measure the impact of dark energy on the expansion of the universe.
There are 5,000 optical fibers inside the DESI, each of which will act as an independent telescope and together, they will be able to scan 3,60,000 galaxies in a day.
