A nice explanation of the DESI BAO cosmology results

Want some help digesting the new @desisurvey results? Watch @SeshNadathur and Andreu Font Ribera talk through it all in a Cosmology Talk... 🙂 youtu.be/9DsMphPfrjI

@desisurvey vient de publier ses contraintes cosmologiques avec sa 1ère année de données ! Avec une précision excédant celle des 20 dernières années, DESI affine le modèle cosmo et montre des indices surprenants sur la nature de l’énergie sombre ! ▶️ urlz.fr/q9on

Breaking news!🎉 Today we announce the most precise measurements of our expanding Universe using the BAO signal in 6.1 Million galaxies and quasars from Year 1, tracing dark energy through cosmic time. See @BerkeleyLab PR at newscenter.lbl.gov/2024/04/04/des… 1/10 📸 Credit: @ClaireLamman

Our @DurhamPhysics @DarkerMatters experts are part of the international @desisurvey behind the largest 3D map of the #Universe, measuring its expansion over 11 billion years! The map gives us the best view yet of how the Universe evolved 👉 brnw.ch/21wIvKi #DUResearch

After last year’s Christmas party in Edinburgh, I’m disappointed by the lack of mulled buckfast at the Christmas party in Durham


Happy 60th birthday Shaun Cole!

Scientists have observed 2 million distant #galaxies, #quasars and #stars that will help create the most detailed 3D map of the #Universe ever. Researchers @DurhamPhysics are part of the team behind the first release of data from @desisurvey Read more 👉fal.cn/3z3bA

Students & staff at @durham_uni held their monthly 'Cakes for Good' bake sale on Mon March 20th & raised an amazing £156 for @ElimishaMschana! This will cover secondary tuition fees for a girl for a whole year. We're so grateful for the support! Many thanks to all involved 🙏🍰♀️

It’s nice to move back to Durham. And the commute to the office is a lot quicker than it was in Edinburgh!
