Travis Lange updates us on the LSST camera's journey to Chile for the Vera Rubin Observatory. With its 3.2-billion-pixel sensor, the world's largest digital...

21 of these "science rafts" will go into the world's largest digital camera for astronomy, which is being assembled and tested at SLAC.

SLAC scientists and engineers celebrated the completion of a new clean room, where the lab will assemble the camera of the future Large Synoptic...

Two recent meetings at SLAC brought together experts working on computer hardware and software for LSST – a future telescope that will provide unprecedented...

The LSST system will alert scientists to changes in space in near-real time.

In repeatedly and systematically surveying the sky with deep, large-field-of-view images in six optical color bands on a 3 billion pixel camera for years...

Efforts are already underway to ensure that the data the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope  collects will be ready to be mined for scientific gold.

Finding ways to handle torrents of data from LSST and LCLS-II will also advance “exascale” computing.

The raft is part of the sensor array that will make up the crucial camera segment of the telescope.

As the massive LSST camera project reaches its culmination, Hannah Pollek is one of the engineers in the clean room each day putting the...
