Dark energy is still a mystery. For decades, scientists have theorized about our expanding universe. Now, for the first time ever, we have tools powerful enough to put these theories to the test.
The 2003 ESA mission Euclid, which will make a 3D map of the universe to see how matter has been pulled apart by dark energy over time. This map will include observations of billions of galaxies found up to 10 billion light-years from Earth.
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, set to launch by May 2027, is designed to map how matter is structured and spread across the universe and explore how dark energy behaves and has changed over time. Roman's resolution will allow it to capture expansive images of the universe.
NASA's SPHEREx mission, scheduled to launch in 2025, aims to survey the entire sky in near-infrared light, including over 450 million galaxies, could help to further our understanding of dark energy.
Additionally, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope aims to make contributions to several areas of research, and will contribute to studies of dark energy.
The above mentioned space missions combined with ground-based Vera Rubin Observatory will usher in a new “golden age” of cosmology, in which scientists will collect more data than ever about the great mysteries of dark energy.
