Photo Credit : Rob Ratkowski , PS1SC So for the last year I’ve been involved in exploiting data from the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope . PS1 is the first telescope of the larger Pan-STARRS Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System project to survey the sky constantly searching for asteroids that may pose a threat to the Earth . The data from PS1 will also be used to do a whole range of diverse science from the icy bodies of the Kuiper Belt , to probing the dark energy which is though to make up over 70 of the .
