Kyle Dawson, a cosmologist at the University of Utah. “We know both the ancient history of the Universe and its recent expansion history fairly well, but there’s a troublesome gap in the middle 11 billion years,” said Dr. “We have worked to fill in that gap, and we are now using that information to gain a better understanding of this period in our Universe.”

“Over the last 20 years, the SDSS has created a series of surveys that now span a period of 11 billion years of cosmic history.” “This is one of the most substantial advances in cosmology in the last decade,” said Professor Will Percival, a researcher at the University of Waterloo and Perimeter Institute.

So, the location of these signals reveals the expansion rate of the Universe at different times in cosmic history.

As we look out in distance, we look back in time. The inset for each color-coded section of the map includes an image of a typical galaxy or quasar from that section, and also the signal of the pattern that the eBOSS team measures there. We are located at the center of this map.

The eBOSS map is shown as a rainbow of colors, located within the observable Universe (the outer sphere, showing fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background).
