Next-generation telescopic surveys will work hand-in-hand with supercomputers to study the nature of dark energy. The 2020s could see a rapid expansion in dark energy research. For starters, two powerful new instruments will scan the night sky for distant galaxies. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, or DESI, will measure the distances to about 35 million cosmic objects, and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, or LSST, will capture high-resolution videos of nearly 40 billion galaxies.
