Inside the World's Largest Digital Camera

[HUSKER HOT SAUCE]

Next year the LSST Camera will start a decade-long project to map the entire sky, and help answer some of the universe's biggest questions.

The 3,200 megapixel camera, powerful enough to spot a golf ball 15 miles away, will be the heart of a new telescope at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in the mountains of Chile, where it'll spend a decade mapping the entire southern sky. Scientists predict the LSST camera will help them discover 17 billion new stars, as well as 6 million new objects in our own solar system.

Sounds incredibly awesome. Perhaps with this camera, it can capture a Husker National Championship sometime in the near future.
