SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey)

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is a comprehensive project that uses powerful telescopes and advanced cameras to map the universe. It captures detailed images and gathers data on millions of celestial objects like stars, galaxies, and quasars. By analyzing this information, scientists can study the structure, history, and evolution of the universe. SDSS's extensive database helps researchers worldwide explore questions about how the cosmos developed and locate distant objects, making it one of the most influential endeavors in modern astronomy.
