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.

Plans to build the world’s largest digital camera at SLAC have reached a major milestone, with funding approval for the 3,200-megapixel camera. The camera will be the centerpiece of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), which will provide unprecedented details...

A team of scientists generated a giant cosmic simulation—and now they're giving it away.

LSST Will Capture Unprecedented View of Night Sky

Step on a scale and you’ll get a quick measure of your weight. Weighing galaxy clusters, groups of hundreds or thousands of galaxies bound together by gravity, isn’t so easy. But scientists have many ways to do it.
