LSST Large-aperture Synoptic Survey Telescope. A proposed wide-field
ground-based optical telescope that will survey a major fraction of the sky
every few days. It will enable studies of weak gravitational lensing that
will provide constraints on dark matter and dark energy in the universe.
Other applications include the search for near-Earth asteroids that could
potentially collide with the Earth. http://books.nap.edu/books/0309070317/html/38.html#pagetop
