WCA Graduate student, Cam Morgan, won the Graduate Student Committee (GSC) award for best talk at the 2025 Canadian Astronomical Society meeting, held in Halifax.

Cam presented his thesis work in his presentation, "Decoding quenching in the Virgo cluster with spatially resolved star formation".

Faculty, postdocs and grad students of the WCA travelled to Halifax this month, to take part in the 2025 meeting of the Canadian Astronomical Society.

New results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration use the largest 3D map of our universe ever made to track dark energy’s influence over the past 11 billion years. Researchers see hints that dark energy, widely thought to be a “cosmological constant,” might be evolving over time in unexpected ways.

On the same day, DESI has released the largest 3D map of the Universe to date to the public.

The first batch of survey data released by the Euclid mission gives us a glimpse into hundreds of thousands of galaxies reaching back 10.5 billion light years - and it's only the beginning.
