120 megapixel camera: SDSS

Read the activity found here    (this should take 20 min)


Read the opening paragraph of the Wikipedia article on the Sloan Digital Survey.   (this should take 5 min)

Today, you will be doing a digital scavenger hunt with a partner.  The activity is found here. (this should take 50-60 min, so take your time with the reading)


Note:   the magnitudes are listed using 5 different filters-- u, g, r, i ,z    Each of the filters is tracking different wavelengths.  At this point, just write them down.

You will probably not get all 18 of the questions answered.   That's ok.   Do your best.
