Imagine a camera so massive, it could give your car a run for its money! Enter the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and its groundbreaking Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) camera—the biggest digital camera ever made.
This celestial snapper is set to take a 10-year-long look-see at the southern sky, and it’s already treating us to stunning images from its debut. Those cosmic scenes aren’t just pretty pictures; they’re composed of 678 individual shots, merging the Trifid nebula and the Lagoon nebula into one killer cosmic selfie.
But wait, there’s more! A livestream from the Rubin Observatory is scheduled for later today, teasing us with even more dazzling cosmic content. Who knew space could be this photogenic?
So, while we whittle away our days scrolling through social media, this car-sized camera is out there capturing the wonders of the universe—one pixel at a time. Guess what? The universe is officially on Instagram now, and it’s blowing up our feeds.
