Scientists have used a pair of NSF NOIRLab telescopes for 13 years to create the new DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys map. This new map is available now to everyone and builds upon existing DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys. Researchers believe this newly updated map will be the most comprehensive 2D map of the Universe for “years to come.” The DESI Imaging Legacy Surveys are just one step in this venerable human tradition,” adds Arjun Dey, NSF NOIRLab astronomer and co-lead of the Legacy Surveys. The skies belong to everyoneThe DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys were originally performed to prepare for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey.
