-	The buttons provide access to footprints of different astronomical surveys together with images from these surveys. Currently Footprints are available for the SDSS survey (Data Release 5) and the FIRST radio survey. Images are available for the SDSS (Data Release 4) and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP; Year One data release). More surveys will be added over time.	+
-		+
-	Transparency can be used to view two, or more, of these layers at once by right clicking on the imagery name in '''Layer Manger''', for detailed instruction on using multi layer transparency in World Wind see the [[Transparency, multi-layer]] page.	+

-	==Data source==	+
-	[http://skyserver.sdss.org/ The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)] - The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is the most ambitious astronomical survey ever undertaken. When completed, it will provide detailed optical images covering more than a quarter of the sky, and a 3-dimensional map of about a million galaxies and quasars. As the survey progresses, the data are released to the scientific community and the general public in annual increments.	+
