SkyServer Navigate

 

Navigate is a tool that allows you to see what is in the SDSS database.  Navigate handles a variety of visual tasks.  It: scans any part of the sky the SDSS has imaged; moves to a different part of the Sloan-imaged sky with just a few clicks; zooms in and zooms out; overlays different SDSS elements; and views basic photometric information about the objects you click on.  A summary of basic information about each object is available through the Quick Look link.  When you are ready to learn more, the power of the Explore page for each object is just one click away.
