Astronomers are about to embark on their most ambitious galaxy-mapping project ever. Over the next five years, they will use a telescope in Arizona — retrofitted with thousands of small robotic arms — to capture light spectra from 35 million galaxies and reconstruct the Universe’s history of expansion. Their main aim: to elucidate the nature of dark energy, the enigmatic force that is pushing the Universe to accelerate at an everfaster pace.
