Fermilab scientist Brian Yanny:
“The SDSS has already told us surprising things about the Milky Way, but the most exciting discoveries should lie just ahead.”

It also provides a vast image reservoir as well as the catalog of massive multivariate spatial data.

Oh, by the way, the paper discusses changes and improvement in the recent data release. The SDSS DR6 includes the complete imaging of the Northern Galactic Cap and contains images and parameters of 287 million objects over 9583 deg^2, and 1.27 million spectra over 7425 deg^2.
