A 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey map depicting the distribution of nearly 200,000 galaxies within approximately 2 billion light-years. The data reveals a non-uniform distribution, with wave-like structures suggesting the presence of dark energy and dark matter. The map's axes represent redshift and distance in billions of light-years.

A sample of the color "Cosmic Latte," the average color of the universe, as calculated from the light of 200,000 galaxies in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. This light beige color is the result of averaging the light across the electromagnetic spectrum, showing a shift toward redder stars over time.
