Take a look at the most complete EVER map of the Universe that extends to 380 MILLION lightyears away. (26-05-2011)
The most complete 3D map of the local universe has been unveiled by British astronomers. The 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS) from the University of Portsmouth extends to a distance of 380 million light years and has taken 10 years to complete. It extends closer than previous surveys to the galactic plane - a region that is generally obscured by dust.

The 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS) has catalogued more than 43,000 galaxies within 380 million light-years from Earth (z<0.09). In this projection, the plane of the Milky Way runs horizontally across the center of the image. [link to www.space.com]
