Sloan Digital Sky Survey (DR5)
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
This node contains data from the fifth data release (DR5) of SDSS.
Description
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey is the most ambitious astronomical survey ever undertaken. The survey will map one-quarter of the entire sky in detail, determining the positions and absolute brightnesses of hundreds of millions of celestial objects.
It will also measure the distances to more than a million galaxies and quasars. The SDSS addresses fascinating, fundamental questions about the universe. With the survey, astronomers will be able to see the large-scale patterns of galaxies: sheets and voids through the whole universe.

Scientists have many ideas about how the universe evolved, and different patterns of large-scale structure point to different theories. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey will tell us which theories are right - or whether we will have to come up with entirely new ideas.
