New DESI Results Strengthen Hints That Dark Energy May Evolve

Alt text: A long-exposure image captures circular star trails above telescope domes illuminated in red light on a dark mountain. A golden glow on the horizon marks distant city lights. Caption: DESI maps distant objects to study dark energy. The instrument is installed on the Mayall Telescope, shown here beneath star trails.
