DESI Director Michael Levi is featured in this article about how the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survived fire, rain, and mudslides to resume night sky observations on September 10, 2022. DESI is the heart of a next-generation sky survey that is creating the largest 3D map of the universe. Researchers use DESI to study dark energy, the mysterious force accelerating the expansion of our universe. Their studies are providing insights into the fundamental workings of nature, how the universe evolved, and how it may end.
