"Unveiling the Mysteries: World's Largest Digital Camera Probes the Dark Universe"

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is set to embark on a decade-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time using the world's largest digital camera, the 3,200-megapixel LSST Camera, which weighs 3 metric tons and is the size of a compact car. This camera will monitor the southern hemisphere sky, aiming to unravel mysteries surrounding dark energy and dark matter, and create the most comprehensive map of the night sky ever assembled. The LSST survey will allow for detailed monitoring of transient events and the expansion of the universe, providing groundbreaking insights into cosmic phenomena.
