"Chile's State-of-the-Art Telescope Promises Unprecedented Universe View"

The Vera C Rubin Observatory, equipped with a state-of-the-art 3,200-megapixel camera, is set to revolutionize astronomy by capturing an unprecedented amount of data in a 10-year survey called the LSST. Located in the Chilean desert, the $1.9bn project aims to address uncertainties about dark matter and dark energy, making Chile the leading destination for astronomical observation by 2025. The telescope will constantly shift and observe changes in the sky, detecting 10m events every night, and is expected to challenge fundamental theories in physics while generating a staggering 60 petabytes of data over 10 years.
