«SDSS-III Building on the legacy of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and SDSS-II, the SDSS-III Collaboration is carrying out a program of four surveys to map the structure and dynamics of the Milky Way, to find and characterize extrasolar planetary systems, and to understand dark energy and the nature of the universe.
Between 2008 and 2014, SDSS-III's four surveys are using Apache Point Observatory's 2.5-meter telescope. SDSS-III will continue the SDSS tradition of public data releases, with the first release scheduled for January 2011. The survey will also continue its commitment to making its data available and useful to students, teachers, and citizen scientists.»
