entire southern sky

After more than a decade of preparations, it’s the start of one of the most ambitious studies of the cosmos ever undertaken. For the next ten years, the LSST will capture the entire southern sky to create an ultra-wide, ultra-high-definition time-lapse record of our Universe.

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory hosts world's largest digital camera at 3,200 megapixels. The camera is the size of a small car. The telescope will map the entire southern sky every three to four nights.
