The Nicholas U Mayall telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona is home to DESI.
The most detailed map of the Universe has been produced by an international team of scientists.
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument has broken all 3D galaxy survey records within seven months.
A component built by Durham University increases the telescope's field of view.
The Institute for Computational Cosmology's Carlos Frenk said that the data from DESI would help uncover some of the most intimate secrets of the universe.
He said that this will help them find out more about dark energy.
We will learn more about the dark matter and how it contributes to the evolution of the universe.

There are star trails over the Nicholas U Mayall Telescope.
The light from the stars and quasars is split into small bands of colour by the fibre-optic system.
This allows researchers to gauge how fast the universe has expanded and how far away they are.
Dark energy accounts for 70% of the universe and is the cause of expansion.
Data from 11 billion years ago can shed light on the early universe.
Victoria Fawcett is a PhD researcher at Durham University's Centre for Extragalactic Astronomy.
Large samples of rare objects that we haven't been able to study before are among the exotic systems we're finding.

The map shows the earth at the centre with each point representing one of 400,000 of the 35 million galaxies that will be in the final map.
The data is being used to understand the behavior of black holes in small galaxies.
DESI has catalogued more than 7.5 million galaxies and is expected to add another 25 million by the end of its run.
The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory manages the collaboration.
