Astrophysicists on Monday published the largest-ever 3D map of the Universe, the result of an analysis of more than four million galaxies and ultra-bright, energy-packed quasars. The efforts of hundreds of scientists from around 30 institutions worldwide have yielded a "complete story of the expansion of the universe", said Will Percival of the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada.
Following a 20-year-long survey of the night sky, an international team of over 100 astrophysicists created the most detailed 3D map of the universe, giving us a look back at its expansion history.
