A nice explanation of the DESI BAO cosmology results

[Shaun Hotchkiss @just_shaun]

Want some help digesting the new @desisurvey results?

Watch @SeshNadathur and Andreu Font Ribera talk through it all in a Cosmology Talk... 🙂

@desisurvey vient de publier ses contraintes cosmologiques avec sa 1ère année de données ! Avec une précision excédant celle des 20 dernières années, DESI affine le modèle cosmo et montre des indices surprenants sur la nature de l’énergie sombre !

Our @DurhamPhysics @DarkerMatters experts are part of the international @desisurvey behind the largest 3D map of the #Universe, measuring its expansion over 11 billion years!

The map gives us the best view yet of how the Universe evolved 👉 https://t.co/6lntcTDJ79

@NikoSarcevic Yes, it was incredible! And LOUD! Glad I had earplugs

After last year’s Christmas party in Edinburgh, I’m disappointed by the lack of mulled buckfast at the Christmas party in Durham

Happy 60th birthday Shaun Cole!

Exploring the cosmos together! 🌌 Just had an exciting collaboration meeting in Durham getting ready for the Year-1 analysis! Many thanks to our colleagues at @DarkerMatters & admin staff for hosting this fruitful meeting! #DarkEnergy #DESI5000

[Durham University @durham_uni]

Scientists have observed 2 million distant #galaxies, #quasars and #stars that will help create the most detailed 3D map of the #Universe ever. Researchers @DurhamPhysics are part of the team behind the first release of data from @desisurvey. Read more 👉https://t.co/7Z0aMKFNd0

1/🥳🌌 Exciting news! We're launching the DESI Early Data Release, featuring spectra from the Survey Validation phase (Dec20 - May21). Immerse yourself in the cosmos with ~750k galaxies from our "1% survey." Keep reading for a journey into the universe! (📹Credits: David Kirkby)

Amazing Flaming Lips show in Manchester tonight! Most fun concert I’ve been to for a long time!

[ElimishaMsichana @ElimishaMschana]

Students & staff at @durham_uni held their monthly 'Cakes for Good' bake sale on Mon March 20th & raised an amazing £156 for @ElimishaMschana! This will cover secondary tuition fees for a girl for a whole year. We're so grateful for the support! Many thanks to all involved 🙏🍰♀️

[Alex Smith @amjsmith89]

It’s nice to move back to Durham. And the commute to the office is a lot quicker than it was in Edinburgh!
