What Does DES Stand For?
DES stands for Deep Ecliptic Survey
The Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES) is a comprehensive astronomical initiative aimed at mapping the ecliptic plane of our solar system. By utilizing advanced imaging techniques and state-of-the-art telescopes, the DES seeks to identify and characterize various celestial bodies, including asteroids, comets, and trans-Neptunian objects. This survey contributes to our understanding of the dynamics and evolution of the solar system, providing valuable data for researchers and enhancing our knowledge of planetary formation and orbital mechanics.
