Amazing Map Lets You Scroll Through the Entire Known Universe

We can't imagine the universe because it's so vast. We can do some good things.

The map shows the entire universe in all its glory, showing some 200,000 galaxies as tiny dots that span all the way to the observable limits.

Users can easily scroll through billions of years with the help of the data gathered over two decades by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.

This map of the universe is probably the best one you've seen before. It might be the most comprehensive map of its kind made for the average Joe.

"Astrophysicists around the world have been analyzing this data for years, leading to thousands of scientific papers and discoveries." said the map's creator and JohnHopkins professor.

Nobody took the time to create a map that is scientifically accurate and accessible to people who aren't scientists. Our goal is to show the universe to everyone.

Cosmic Cartography

Our home, the Milky Way, is surrounded by blue dots of spiral galaxies up to two billion light years away. In the distance, yellow briefly takes over, where elliptical galaxies are superior to the dimmer spiral ones.

The map shows us a bright red area. The phenomenon known as red shifting means that the yellow light gets stretched into red.

There is a huge ocean of blue, where the dots represent quasars, the black holes in distant galaxies.

There are a few red dots that depict redshifted quasars across the universe's final boundary.

The map ends at 13 billion light years away, which is1-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-6556 is1-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-6556
