Overview
5000 Eyes: Mapping the Universe with DESI is a visually stunning full dome film designed to immerse students in the fascinating world of modern astronomy. It explores the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), a cutting-edge tool that's creating the most detailed map of our universe by measuring the spectra of galaxies.
Students in Years 10-12 will experience the largest structures in space like never before, flying through real data collected by DESI. Join us as we explore the science instrument and people behind this global endeavour, then participate in a Q&A with expert astrophysicist as they answer students burning questions and give insight into the world class research happening in Australia.
Ideal for students interested in science, technology, and space exploration, this film is a window into the future of cosmic discovery.
