"Unveiling the World's Largest Astronomical Digital Camera for Mapping the Heavens"
The construction of the LSST Camera, the world's largest astronomical digital camera, has been completed at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Silicon Valley. Capable of taking photos with a resolution of 3,200 megapixels, the camera will be mounted on the Simonyi Survey Telescope at the Vera C Rubin Observatory in Chile to capture high-quality images of the southern hemisphere's sky. Its purpose is to further the study of dark energy and dark matter, as well as to map out the Milky Way in superb detail, potentially increasing the number of known objects in the sky tenfold.
