SDSS is an ambitious project that attempts to map 1/4 of the visible sky over a period of years. This is a HUGE database of more than 90 million objects.
To familiarize yourself with such a tool, you will be doing an online lab, found here
The accompanying worksheet can be found here Copy it into a Microsoft Word document if you wish, or print it off and write in the values.
