The Dark Energy Survey

The New Horizons probe recently (2015) performed a flyby of the Pluto’s system, giving us an unprecedented view of this dwarf planet and satellites.

However, we cannot send probes to every rock in the cold depths of our solar system. By observing the silhouette of solar system bodies against bright stars, a technique called occultation, we can learn a lot about them.

However, predicting when a small rock, far away from us, will cross the light path of a star for an Earth-based observer requires accurate astrometry, the technique to measure the position of celestial bodies.

DES helps us with fresh and precise astrometry of Trans Neptunian Objects (TNOs - those beyond the orbit of Neptune) allowing us to refine their orbits, predict occultations, and then measure sizes, shapes, detect ring systems and faint atmospheres when they exist. www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/newhorizons/main/index.html #DEST4TD -- Julio Camargo (DES Brazil) ...

New Horizons launched on Jan. 19, 2006 and conducted a six-month-long reconnaissance flyby study of Pluto and its moons in summer 2015, culminating with Pluto closest approach on July 14, 2015.
