The massive haul includes 30,000 ring galaxies, which are considered to be the rarest of all possible galaxy shapes. They were delivered by 10,000 volunteers who scoured through data collected with the Subaru Telescope. This telescope collects a ton of incredible data so that astronomers struggle to sift through it all.

The map is made up of 1.3 million quasars, which are cores of active galaxies powered by supermassive black holes and some of the brightest cosmic objects in existence. As friction heats up these clouds, they can form a bright, fast-moving disk that occasionally sprouts powerful jets of light. The new map, called Quaia, is based on data collected by the European Space Agency's Gaia space telescope, among other sources
