🔭1000000000 radio sources will be discovered. What is supporting Caltech's ambition？https://lnkd.in/gs7GUxFf Caltech just greenlit the Deep Synoptic Array. It will be online in 2029. ✨️1,650 radio dishes. ✨️20 kilometers wide. ✨️100x faster than anything we've ever built. Every radio telescope in history combined has found ~20 million cosmic radio sources. The DSA will match that on day one. By the end of its first survey: one billion. Prof. Gregg Hallinan and Prof. Vikram Ravi serve as the Principal Investigator (PI) and Co-Principal Investigator (Co-PI) of the project, respectively. A single instrument is about to reshape an entire field. What do you think — are we ready for a billion new radio sources? #RadioAstronomy #Caltech #SpaceScience #DeepTech
