Polar-Areas Stellar-Imaging in Polarisation High-Accuracy Experiment (PASIPHAE) is an international collaborative sky surveying project.
- Through this project scientists aim to study the polarisation in the light coming from millions of stars.
- The name is inspired from Pasiphae, the daughter of Greek Sun God Helios, who was married to King Minos.
- The project will be used in upcoming sky surveys to study stars, is being led by an Indian astronomer.
- The PASIPHAE survey will measure starlight polarisation over large areas of the sky.
