California: After two decades of tireless work, scientists and engineers finally built the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) camera.
To better understand the changing night sky, the Milky Way galaxy and our solar system, a team at SLAC, a local laboratory in California, has teamed up with other scientists to build the largest camera ever in astronomy. .
The 3,200-megapixel camera at the center of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will help researchers make unprecedented detailed observations of the universe.
Over a period of more than 10 years, this observatory will extract such a large amount of data from the southern night sky that researchers will be able to discover new information about the universe. (increasing the spread of
The camera is about the size of a car and weighs around 3000 kg. Its front lens is over 5 feet in diameter, the largest lens ever made for this purpose.
