20,000 Eyes on the Universe
The MUltiplexed Survey Telescope (MUST) is set to revolutionize our understanding of the universe by measuring the redshifts of over 100 million galaxies and quasars. With its advanced technology, including 20,000 robotic fibre positioners, MUST will be ten times more efficient than current instruments. This ambitious project aims to address fundamental questions in physics and cosmology starting in the early 2030s.
- ▪MUST will measure the redshifts of over 100 million galaxies and quasars.
- ▪The telescope features 20,000 robotic fibre positioners, significantly enhancing survey efficiency.
- ▪It aims to build the most detailed three-dimensional map of the universe ever assembled.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
20,000 Eyes on the Universe By Mark Thompson - May 29, 2026 09:27 AM UTC | Telescopes Capturing images of galaxies, like this image of In 1995, NGC 4414 doesn't tell us much about the nature of the galaxy (Credit : The Hubble Heritage Team) Think about a census. You could photograph every house in the country and produce a beautiful map, but without knocking on doors and asking questions, you'd know almost nothing about the people living in them. Astronomy finds itself in exactly this situation. Surveys like Euclid and the Vera Rubin Observatory will soon catalogue over 30 billion galaxies, an almost incomprehensible number.
