The Deep Synoptic Array
@deepsynopticarray.bsky.social
The Deep Synoptic Array (DSA) will be a world-class radio survey telescope and multi-messenger discovery engine.
It’s been an exciting #AAS247 as the DSA was announced to be part of the Schmidt Observatory System and we can share that we are funded for construction by Schmidt Sciences! We are looking forward to opening up the dynamic radio sky to the worldwide astronomy community. 🔭
