What will I learn?
This Cosmography Course equips you with hands-on skills to map the universe's large-scale structure using actual survey data. Master selecting sky areas, retrieving and cleaning catalogues, correcting for extinction, applying quality filters, building 2D/3D visualisations, estimating distances from redshift via solid cosmological models, identifying clusters, filaments, voids, and managing errors, biases, plus preparing for future surveys with reliable tools.
