	Description:		For Beyond 50's "Science" talks, listen to an interview with Ann Finkbeiner. She'll talk about a massive undertaking by hundreds of astronomers to survey the sky, called the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. In spite of their culture, personal inclinations, and best professional interests - created a 3-D map of the sky that was complete, detailed and huge; a grand and bold thing. Through this viewpoint, they've been able to watch galaxies forming and merging with other galaxies; seeing streams of stars swirling out from galaxies; and understanding how the bright smooth universe of the Big Bang evolved into the one we know.
