Using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), Rochester scientists have gathered the first batch of dark energy data—and the results are astounding.

The international project is part of a 5-year quest to build a 3D map of the universe 🪐rochester.edu/newscenter/wha…

What a totally incredible experience to witness the total solar eclipse in the path of totality with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends! 🐝

Happy #eclipse day! 😎

Be sure to protect your eyes while viewing the eclipse. (Yes, we keep saying it…but it’s really important!) urmc.rochester.edu/news/publicati…

Eclipse Day! Scheduled for CNN today around 2 pm and again on Anderson Cooper tonight. I don't care what the weather is like here in Rochester, it's gonna switch from day to night and back again at 3:20 pm. Never seen that happen before!

Not in the path of today's solar eclipse? You can watch it live online through the eyes of the telescope atop the University's Wilmot Hall!
