SDSS-V/Milky Way Mapper
@milkywaymapper.bsky.social
Proud member of @sdssurveys.bsky.social. Honoring our ancestor surveys SEGUE and APOGEE. Grateful for the Gaia, TESS, & eROSITA satellites. Observing all the stars
Really excited for #DR20 today from @sdssurveys.bsky.social. Over 50,000 white dwarf spectra, with many new ones from the Southern Hemisphere!
Data Release 20 is happening today for @sdssurveys.bsky.social! Milky Way Mapper is handing out gobs of BOSS spectra and stellar parameters, including the first set from the Southern Hemisphere
Big day for us today at the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: it's Data Release Day! Our twentieth(!!!) data release will go out later today, with lots of spectra and catalogs of stars, galaxies and quasars, and some new webtools! Our DR20 paper has all the details: arxiv.org/abs/2607.26149 #DR20
The Twentieth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First All-Sky BOSS Spectra, eROSITA-SDSS-V Mapper Coordinated Observations, and a Preview of the Local Volume Mapper
This paper presents the twentieth data release (DR20) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the third data release of its fifth generation (SDSS-V). SDSS-V is a panoptic spectroscopy survey that is mappi...

Recent scholarship suggests the Milky Way was represented in Ancient Egypt as early as 1077–943 BCE. The sky goddess, Nut, was sometimes depicted with an “undulating black curve,” thought to symbolize the Great Rift, a ribbon of dark space that divides the Milky Way.
Ancient Egyptian Coffin Paintings Suggest Awareness of Milky Way
Representations of the Egyptian sky goddess Nut on 3,000-year-old coffins shows evidence of the galaxy being accurately represented.

Today is a big day for us: it's DATA RELEASE DAY!!! And to celebrate our nineteenth data release, we have not one, but two papers for you to read all about our data: we have a DR19 paper (arxiv.org/abs/2507.07093) and an SDSS-V Overview paper (arxiv.org/abs/2507.06989) #DR19
Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V: Pioneering Panoptic Spectroscopy
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V (SDSS-V) is pioneering panoptic spectroscopy: it is the first all-sky, multi-epoch, optical-to-infrared spectroscopic survey. SDSS-V is mapping the sky with multi-object...

We need start the game that whenever someone shows the Robert Hurt artist's conception of the Milky Way at #MilkyWay23, everyone gets a chocolate treat.
An entire conference devote to "Surveying the Milky Way". #MilkyWay23. We will be wallowing for the next week. Please excuse us. 🤩🌌
