Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

Among the nearly 4 billion objects in the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys’ map is the galaxy Messier 96, a spiral galaxy approximately 35 million light-years from Earth. This image was captured with the 570-megapixel Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy Camera (DECam) mounted on the U.S. National Science Foundation Víctor M. Blanco 4-metre Telescope at NSF Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) in Chile, a Program of NSF NOIRLab. (Credit: DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys/LBNL/DOE & KPNO/CTIO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA)
