Will Fermilab find its future by looking to the stars?

Article Abstract:

Fermilab will enter an area of research different from that of sub-atomic particles. It will join with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in a $25 million multi-institution project to map nearly a million galaxies. The possible impact of their participation is discussed.
