Explanations of our survey and our science

  • Why survey a large area of the sky?
  • Why go deep?
  • Weak gravitational lensing: this Wikipedia article was partly written and illustrated by some of us, so we highly recommend it. If you want to go further, try LSST's cosmic shear page aimed at scientists. (LSST is a telescope optimized for surveys, based partly on our Deep Lens Survey experience.)
