Astronomers from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Make the Most Precise Measurement Yet of the Expanding Universe
In 2014, Andreu Font-Ribera (LBNL) co-lead a press conference to present the most precise measurement yet of the expanding universe. Using data from the 11th data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Andreu and collaborators were able to measure, with a precision of 2%, the expansion rate of the Universe eleven billion years ago (Font-Ribera et al. 2014). The main image of the press release was an artist impression made in collaboration with artist Zosia Rostomian (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory).
