In our SkyServer Projects, you will learn science by studying
the 80 million stars and galaxies of the Sloan Digital Sky
Survey (SDSS) - the same objects that professional astronomers
study. Most of these objects have never been seen before by
human eyes. Work through these projects at your own pace. Each
consists of several questions and exercises. If you get stuck,
try reading our About Astronomy or About SDSS pages. Each
project ends with a research challenge, which lets you do real
astronomy research, just like thousands of professional
astronomers around the world. When you finish the research
challenge for each project, E-mail it to us. We'll look over all
the results we get, and we'll put the best up on these pages!
