The brief
Caltech is initiating the construction of the Deep Synoptic Array, a radio telescope array located in the Nevada desert. The facility is described as the most sensitive radio observatory in the world.
Coverage from Caltech, NBC News, and IFLScience emphasizes the project's scale and sensitivity. TechEBlog reports that the array is expected to uncover a billion cosmic sources during its first years of operation, while Scientific American suggests the telescope will change astronomy.
Future developments involve the actual construction and the subsequent discovery of cosmic sources as the array begins its operational phase.
