Astronomy: Sloan at five
Robert C. Kennicutt Jr1
Abstract
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey represents the most ambitious attempt yet to map out a slice of the sky. In the first five years of its existence, it has revealed cosmic structures on every conceivable scale.
Last month saw the publication of the paper1 describing the fifth and final data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The project has since been extended — a sixth data release was announced this summer — but this point marks the formal completion of the first phase of one the most ambitious and productive astronomy projects ever undertaken.
- Robert C. Kennicutt Jr is at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0HA, UK.
