Encyclopedia
The Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration 2 (SEGUE-2) is an astronomical survey designed to map the outer reaches of the Milky Way
with a spectra of 240,000 stars. This survey will double the sample size of SEGUE-1.
This survey is one of four components of SDSS-III.
