ASAS (All Sky Automated Survey)

The All Sky Automated Survey (ASAS) is a project designed to monitor the brightness of stars across the entire sky continuously. Using automatic telescopes, ASAS collects data to detect changes in starlight, which can indicate various astronomical events, such as variable stars, supernovae, or even exoplanets. By observing vast regions of sky over time, ASAS contributes valuable information to our understanding of the universe, helping astronomers identify interesting celestial phenomena and enhance our knowledge of stellar behavior. Its automated nature allows for efficient, large-scale sky monitoring that would be challenging for human observers alone.
