Im Planetarium: 5000 Augen

In the organizer's words:

On May 1, ESO Supernova invites you to an evening at the planetarium.

At 18:30 we will show 5000 Eyes: Mapping the Universe with DESI. This fulldome film shows you the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), which is creating the most detailed map of our nearby Universe. DESI's 5000 independently operated robots are installed at the Mayall Telescope at Kitt Peak in southern Arizona and can measure the light from thousands of galaxies simultaneously.

Experience the largest structures in the universe like never before by flying with us through a portion of DESI's original data. Delve into modern cosmology as well as the scientific background and motivation for creating a large galaxy map. And take a trip to Kitt Peak to see footage of the telescope in action while meeting the amazing people from around the world who make this research possible.

Join us to discover the science, the instruments and the people behind this global endeavor.
