Not exact matches

Survey telescopes look at much larger areas of the sky — up to half the sky, at any point — than does the Hubble Space Telescope, for instance, which focuses more on individual objects.

Seb Oliver, Head of the HerMES survey said: «The fantastic thing about Herschel - SPIRE is that we are able to scan very large areas of the sky with sufficient sensitivity and image sharpness that we can find these rare and exotic things.

Subaru is currently undertaking a massive survey to image a large area of the sky at an unprecedented depth with Hyper Suprime - Cam as part of the Subaru Strategic Program.

The initial discovery of this quasar (given the identity J1342 +0928) came to light thanks to the mining of three large area surveys: the DECam Legacy Survey (DECaLS) that is being carried out with the Dark Energy Camera on the National Science Foundations Blanco 4 - m telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, NASAs Wide - field Infrared Survey Explorer (ALLWISE), and the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Large Area Sularge area surveys: the DECam Legacy Survey (DECaLS) that is being carried out with the Dark Energy Camera on the National Science Foundations Blanco 4 - m telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, NASAs Wide - field Infrared Survey Explorer (ALLWISE), and the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Large Area Surarea surveys: the DECam Legacy Survey (DECaLS) that is being carried out with the Dark Energy Camera on the National Science Foundations Blanco 4 - m telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, NASAs Wide - field Infrared Survey Explorer (ALLWISE), and the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Large Area SuLarge Area SurArea Survey.
