The Largest Ever 3D Map of the Universe

Fly through the latest release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, with images of 200 million galaxies. The spectra and motion collected in this ongoing project, which released this latest data this week, are like a lens into the early days of our universe.

Don’t feel small, feel special! That we can know so much about something so immense … that is truly amazing.
