An international team of astrophysicists on Monday published the largest-ever three-dimensional map of our Universe and it’s glorious, to say the least! The 3D map, which was designed after accumulating and analyzing data from the skies for decades, shows how the universe has evolved and expanded over 11 billion years. The team used the Sloan Digital Sky Survey’s (SDSS) 2.5-meter wide optical telescope in New Mexico to conduct surveys and analysis of more than four million galaxies and ultra-bright, energy-packed quasars over 20 years. The team believes by practicing the three-dimensional positions of a billion of these galaxies, we can build up a map of where the masses are in the universe.
