The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is one of the biggest digital surveys available in the astronomy/astrophysics community. Starting from 2000, the SDSS has completed four phases of the survey. The data has been used in various catalogs and sub-surveys as well. The SDSS data has also been used to create on the the most detailed maps of the universe. In this post, we will see how we can use the SDSS/MaNGA Stellar Library (MaStar) and what inferences we can make from the data.

A general look at the stars. Going from early star exploration to the extended research and problems that the diverse classification of stars pose in their complete understanding. As an added bonus, how scientists torture the dying stars.
