A map of the sky showing the density of galaxy clusters, galaxies and matter in the universe over the part of the sky observed by the Dark Energy Survey. The left panel shows the galaxy density in that part of the sky, while the middle panel shows matter density and the right shows galaxy cluster density. Red areas are more dense, and blue areas are less dense, than average.
