A survey telescope is designed to scan large areas of the sky systematically, providing comprehensive data about celestial objects. It is crucial for discovering transient phenomena, mapping the universe, and supporting various astronomical research projects by offering a wide field of view and rapid data acquisition capabilities.

Comprehensive Data

Celestial objects are natural physical entities located outside Earth's atmosphere, ranging from stars and planets to asteroids and comets, each playing a crucial role in the structure and evolution of the universe. Studying these objects helps astronomers understand the fundamental processes governing the cosmos, including the formation of galaxies and the lifecycle of stars.

Celestial Objects

Transient phenomena are things that happen very quickly and then go away, like a flash of lightning or a loud clap of thunder. They are important because they help scientists learn about how things change and move in the world around us.
