description: The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) is designed to measure the scale of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of matter over a larger volume than the combined efforts of all previous spectroscopic surveys of large scale structure. BOSS uses 1.5 million luminous galaxies as faint as i=19.9 over 10,000 square degrees to measure BAO to redshifts z&lt;0.7. Observations of neutral hydrogen in the Lyman alpha forest in more than 150,000 quasar spectra (g&lt;22) will constrain BAO over the redshift range 2.15
