2 Quotes by Rosemary Wyse

Our research focuses on the oldest stars, and probes the earliest phases of the evolution of our home galaxy, the Milky Way. The unprecedented sample available with RAVE will allow me -- and now, with the release of this data, others -- to test ideas of our origins laid out by various cosmological theories.

The data we are making public today is twice the sample size of any previous survey, and has extremely high quality. Other astronomers can definitely use these data in their work. All they have to do is go to our Web site and download it.
