The 6dF Galaxy Survey has collected more than 120,000 redshifts over the southern sky over a 5 year period from 2001 to 2005. Its goal is to map our southern view of the local universe, and use the peculiar motions of one-tenth of the survey to measure galaxy mass. It covers more than eight times the sky area of the successful 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey.

Stills from the video can be found here: paulbourke.net/exhibition/astc2006/
Data: Anglo-Australian Observatory, 6dF data date: June 2006.
Visuals and animation: Paul Bourke
Music: Peter Morse, Glenn Rogers

    Can you explain a bit more about what this shows - is the POV from earth, or is earth in the center of the sphere?
    thanks

    It's a fly through of data taken from the POV of Earth, but we don't start at Earth. Earth is at the point you can see at the beginning where the two 'cone-shapes' meet. I don't think I'm making much sense in written words, but check out these images here (aao.gov.au/local/www/6df/Gallery/index.html) - Earth is at the centre of the butterfly shape there, and that's what we're flying through in 3-D in this film.
