The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is a project using data collected by the Sloan Telescope and its instruments to make a map of a large part of the universe. This data is shared with scientists throughout the world for their research. It is also made available for students to use. The data is used here in the EIS Academy for the projects listed below. Parts of these projects come from SDSS Voyages Education Section. SDSS Voyages are inquiry based projects.
