known universe in a box on your computer screen – the 120 million
light-years of it within our grasp, at least.<br>

cosmically inclined.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">The work has been submitted to the Astronomical Journal.</div><div> <br><a href="http://spacewatchtower.blogspot.com/2013/06/video-new-3-d-map-of-universe.html">http://spacewatchtower.blogspot.com/2013/06/video-new-3-d-map-of-universe.html</a><br><br></div><div>gaw<br><br></div><div>Glenn A.
