Next-generation telescopic surveys will work hand-in-hand with supercomputers to study the nature of dark energy.

A recent uptick in the discovery of the smallest, oldest galaxies benefits studies of dark matter, galaxy formation and the evolution of the unive

When the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) begins in 2022 to take images of the entire southern night sky over and over again for 10 years, it will produce deeper, wider and faster views of the cosmos than any other...

It’s not easy being clean.

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope’s ‘Eye’ Will be Built at SLAC.

Exploding stars have an immense capacity to destroy—and create.

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

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will take the most thorough survey ever of the Southern sky.

Two recent meetings at SLAC brought together experts working on computer hardware and software for LSST – a future telescope that will provide unprecedented views of the sky and may solve some of the biggest mysteries of the universe.

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

After more than six years of grinding and polishing, the first-ever dual-surface mirror for a major telescope is complete.
