In action, the telescope will point at a parcel of sky, 3.5 degrees across—in other words, seven times the width of the full moon. ... Then, the telescope will move along to the next parcel, and so forth, in a mission to survey the southern sky for years on end. I first read this as it will take forever to survey the entire southern sky, but they mean it will be operational for years on end. They already did a full southern sky survey in two weeks using radio telescopes back in 2020. Of course, this new lens will be capturing at a different spectrum. https://spaceaustralia.com/feature/fastest-radio-survey-southern-sky https://spaceaustralia.com/feature/fastest-radio-survey-sout...
