Scientists release largest-ever 3D map of universe after studying over 4 million galaxies
A computer animation image shows the Solar System, with stellar constellations. In the project launched more than two decades ago, the researchers made "the most accurate expansion history measurements over the widest-ever range of cosmic time", he said in a statement. The map relies on the latest observations of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, titled the "extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey", with data collected from an optical telescope in New Mexico over six years. An international team of over 100 astrophysicists created the most detailed 3D map of the universe, giving us a look back at its expansion history. According to AFP, Kyle Dawson of the University of Utah, who unveiled the map on Monday, said the researchers tackled a "troublesome gap in the middle 11 billion years".
