Phys.Org (Isle of Man, Aug. 18) -- Using the Dark Energy Camera, a 570-megapixel imaging device mounted on the Victor M. Blanco Telescope in Chile, the Dark Energy Survey’s five-year mission is to unravel the fundamental mystery of dark energy and its impact on our universe. Hundreds of thousands of individual images of the sky are being analyzed by thousands of computers at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at Illinois, among others.
