This portion of the universe generated from dark matter halos in the Uchuu simulation shows the distribution of galaxies and quasars up to billions of light-years away. The image shows different types of cosmic objects observed with DESI—bright galaxies, massive red galaxies, star-forming galaxies, and quasars—represented in different colours. A box enlarges the nearest region, where the cosmic web can be seen: the large-scale network of structures formed by galaxies. Although spectacular, this image corresponds to less than 0.1% of the total volume of the cosmological map, corresponding to three years of observations, recently published by DESI. Credits: E.
