DESCRIPTION:The filamentary pattern in which the Universe's matter concent
 rates\, the cosmic web\, is predicted by the ΛCDM cosmological model and 
 contains the majority of the universe's matter. Detailed mapping of this i
 nterconnected structure of gaseous filaments\, galaxies\, quasars\, dark m
 atter\, and voids\, is central to a comprehensive understanding of the ori
 gin and evolution of our Universe. I will describe very deep narrow band i
 maging observations obtained using the Condor Array Telescope in New Mexic
 o\, centered on the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field at a redshift o
 f z=2.45. We use several hydrodynamical simulations to predict the cosmic 
 web Lyman-alpha emission properties. The simulation results show good agre
 ement with the Condor data\, supporting the notion that Condor has detecte
 d wide-field cosmic web emission\, potentially marking the beginning of a 
 new field of cosmology - detailed baryonic and dark matter cartography of 
 the diffuse Universe. I will describe the details of these data and simula
 tions and then discuss the construction of a new Condor in the Atacama tha
 t will go even deeper and which we hope will see first light towards the e
 nd of 2025.
