About

Every point is one galaxy, placed by its measured redshift. Positions are comoving, under the Planck18 cosmology; distances are shown in millions and billions of light-years.

Data: DESI Data Release 1 — Bright Galaxy Survey large-scale-structure catalogs (iron, v1.5). Galaxy names and morphologies come from HyperLEDA, cross-matched on the sky.

Built by John Rachlin, Khoury College of Computer Sciences, Northeastern University, in collaboration with Claude Code.

Research and education. Analyses here are AI-assisted and not peer-reviewed; no claims are made as to scientific validity. Catalogs are DESI's and HyperLEDA's, cited above.
