The Largest Camera Ever Built Releases Its First Images of the Cosmos

Perched Chile Cerro Pachón Mountain, 8.684 feet in the dry air, the best conditions for the night sky created by dry air in the world, in contrast to the construction of a new telescope, began to investigate space. Vera C. Rubin Observatory was called for astronomer The proof of dark matter was found in 197820 billion a galaxy, milky 10 million Supernova in 17 billion stars and solar systems are expected to be found in millions of small facilities.

“We guarantee that people find something that finds something blowing something,” he said. “Something we can’t tell you because we don’t know that. Something unusual.”

This large astronomical jacket will come from the 18th of the observatory The inheritance of spatial and timeThe end of this year will begin to begin. The first science footage from the telescope was released today.

The unprecedented questionnaire of Ruby’s night sky promises to change the concept of space. What happened during the early stages of the planet in the solar system? What types of exotic, high energy explosion occur in the universe? And how the esoteric force of scientists calls dark energy Actually work?

“Usually you would usually go to one of these questions and answer one of these questions and design a project,” says Mario Juric, a data management project scientist for Rubin. “The thing that is so strong from the rubs is what we can build a car that informs the whole community to solve all these questions at once.”

The telescope will create a high resolution film, more than a decade of the universe. The three-year-old Netflix will create about 20 terabytes a day, and 60,000 terabytes until the end of the questionnaire. Only in the first year, Rubin will compile more information than previous optical observations.

“It should be almost fully automated software set, because no man can look at these images, or even look at these images,” he says. “The vast majority of the pixels that intend to collect Rubin from heaven will never see the program with human eyes, so we need to set up the program to pass all these images.” The most unusual objects. “

O Unusual items-asteroid from other solar systems, Supermassive black holes Living stars have the secrets of high-energy explosions that are not a known source of high energy explosions.

“You build a telescope like this, and this is equivalent to the construction of four or five telescopes for special areas,” he said. “But you can do it at once.”

A telescope as another

Located in a 10-storey building, Rubin Observatory is equipped with an initial mirror of 8.4 meters and 3,200-megapixel digital cameras. The telescope quickly revolves over a special mountain, which is a 30-second bet of the sky before continuing a new position. Rubin will take approximately 1,000 photos every night by photographing the sky of all the southern hemisphere every three or four days every night.

“This is a piece of amazing engineering,” says Sandrine Thomas, a project that works in the optical instruments of the Rubin Observatory.
