ASAS-SN (All Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae)

ASAS-SN, or All Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae, is an astronomical project that monitors the entire sky for supernovae—explosions of dying stars. Using a network of telescopes, ASAS-SN captures images of the night sky every few nights to detect changes that signal the birth of a supernova. This automated system allows scientists to quickly identify and study these celestial events, enhancing our understanding of stellar evolution and the universe. By responding rapidly to new discoveries, ASAS-SN contributes valuable data to the field of astrophysics and helps improve our knowledge of cosmic phenomena.
