Las Campanas Redshift Survey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Las Campanas Redshift Survey is considered the first attempt to map the universe out to a redshift of z = 1. It was begun in 1991 using the Las Campanas telescope in Chile to catalog 26418 separate galaxies. It is considered one of the first surveys to document the so-called "end of greatness" where the Cosmological Principle of isotropy could be seen. Superclusters and voids are prominent features in the survey.
