Biggest 3-D Sky Map

Talk about a giant database: Scientists from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III), the largest three-dimensional map of the universe ever created launched.
Using data collected from a 2.5-meter-wide-angle telescope at Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico, the researchers, the positions and distances of 1.35 million galaxies to be identified.

"We want to match the larger volume of the universe, however, to understand and use this card, such as accelerating the expansion of the universe," says Daniel Eisenstein, director of the SDSS-III, said in a statement.
Unfortunately you cannot go on the site of the SDSS-III, and display a Google Street View-style map of the universe. The information is not so - at least not yet.
But Miguel A. Aragon-Calvo, an astronomer at Johns Hopkins University, said he is working. After an earlier version of the data Sloan Digital Sky Survey has Aragon-Calvo a short film (above), which allows the viewer to travel through a 3D model of the universe pretty much created. While nearly 400,000 galaxies in the movie once in the right places on the basis of available data at the time, had Aragon-Calvo, extend to the galaxies, so that you can actually see.
Aragon-Calvo, said that it released a version of Google Street Map new type of data next week in the next few months. Meanwhile, the examination chair astronomer’s worldwide opening of the telescope at Microsoft Research is very good!
