The SDSS map is shown as a colourful rainbow, located in the observable Universe (external sphere, which shows fluctuations in the microwave cosmic background). We are in the center of the map. The box for each color-code section of the map includes the image of a galaxy or quasar typical of that section, and the signal of the pattern the eBOSS team measures there. When looking in the distance, we look back in time. Therefore, the location of these signals reveals the rate of expansion of the Universe at different times of the cosmic history.
