 Erika #PlanetaryDefense @_AstroErika shared:  Using 2 decades of data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, astronomers at Johns Hopkins University have created an interactive map that lets you scroll to the edge of the observable universe. You can travel from spiral galaxies to redshifted galaxies and back 13.7 billion years. See the interactive map here: https://mapoftheuniverse.net
