SDSS releases largest 3D map of the universe ever created

Scientists from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) have released a comprehensive analysis of the largest three-dimensional map of the universe ever created. The new results come from the Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS), an SDSS collaboration of more than 100 astrophysicists worldwide. They provide detailed measurements of more than two million galaxies and quasars, filling in 11 billion years in our picture of the universe. eBOSS Principle Investigator Kyle Dawson (University of Utah), Survey Scientist Will Percival (Perimeter Institute and University of Waterloo), and Jiamin Hou (Max Planck Institute for Extragalactic Physics) - one of the analysis leads - discuss the new results, how the eBOSS project is run, and what the results mean for our understanding of the universe. This video was produced by Perimeter Institute, in collaboration with SDSS. Additional footage was provided by SDSS; EPFL and SDSS; Eva-Maria Mueller (Oxford University) and the SDSS Collaboration;
