"Stunning 360 Image of World's Largest Camera Observatory"
Astrophotographer Petr Horálek captured a stunning 360-degree image of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile, where the world's largest digital camera will be housed. The observatory, located atop Cerro Pachón, will host the powerful 3,200-megapixel LSST Camera, which will conduct a decade-long survey of the sky, generating 20 terabytes of data nightly. Scientists anticipate the camera will identify asteroids, supernovas, and an estimated 20 billion galaxies and stars, making it a groundbreaking tool for astronomy.
