About

    Pan-STARRS1 (Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System 1) is a wide-field astronomical survey project conducted by the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy. It uses a 1.8-meter telescope located on the summit of Haleakala in Hawaii to scan the sky and map objects such as stars, galaxies, and asteroids. Pan-STARRS1 aims to detect and track potentially hazardous near-Earth objects, study the properties of dark matter and dark energy, and provide a valuable dataset for a wide range of astrophysical research. The project has produced extensive catalogs of astronomical objects and has made significant contributions to our understanding of the universe.
