The PS1 surveys used a 1.8 meter telescope and its 1.4 Gigapixel camera to image the sky in five broadband filters. The largest of these surveys provides coverage of the entire sky north of -30 degrees declination, with approximately 10 observation epochs across 3 years in each filter.
The Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer (SPHEREx) is a NASA Astrophysics Medium-class Explorer (MIDEX) mission launched in March 2025. During its planned two-year mission, SPHEREx will perform the first ever all-sky spectral survey in the optical to near-infrared (0.75-5 microns). SPHEREx data will be used to probe inflation and the early universe, trace the history of galactic light production, and investigate the origin of planetary systems and biogenic ices, in addition to contributing to many other astrophysics research topics. IRSA began releasing SPHEREx QR2 data on a weekly basis in October 2025. QR2 features substantially improved calibrations and supersedes QR1.

This release consists of simulated data products designed to mimic observations of the same region of the sky as seen by two astronomical facilities: the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
The SOHO/LASCO data set (prepared for the challenge hosted in Topcoder) provided here comes from the instrument’s C2 telescope and comprises approximately 36,000 images spread across 2,950 comet observations. The human eye is a very sensitive tool and it is the only tool currently used to reliably detect new comets in SOHO data - particularly comets that are very faint and embedded in the instrument background noise. Bright comets can be easily detected in the LASCO data by relatively simple automated algorithms, but the majority of comets observed by the instrument are extremely faint, noise-level observations. Comets in SOHO/LASCO data are dynamic and morphologically diverse objects, and thus computationally highly complex to detect and track.
