Logarithmic Map Of The Universe

Logarithmic maps let astronomers visualize extremely large areas, as each “step” on the axes increases by a factor of 10 (or order of magnitude). What units does the horizontal axis stand for? Through quantum leaps in knowledge, progress is underway to map.

The trick works somewhat like the classic powers of. If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the faq by clicking the link above. To explore the skymap, scroll, double click, or pinch/swipe to zoom in and out.

Budassi’s map is created on a logarithmic map of the universe created by princeton university astronomers, based on data on 3 million space objects from the sloan digital sky survey.

Logarithmic maps of the universe are the ultimate cosmogeographical schema, halfway between the ring and triffid nebulae there lies the curiously named psr 1257+12 pulsar planet. Through quantum leaps in knowledge, progress is underway to map. Our world and solar system look relatively large, a helpful jumping off point as the rings expand.
