The camera will explore cosmic mysteries as part of the Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time.

Matching up maps of matter and light from the Dark Energy Survey and Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope may help astrophysicists understand what causes a faint cosmic gamma-ray glow.

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will be named for an influential astronomer who left the field better than she found it.

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

His work aims to deepen our understanding of dark matter, dark energy and other secrets of the universe.

SLAC completed its work on ComCam, a commissioning device to be installed in Chile later this year.

Building the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope also means solving extraordinary technological challenges.

The LSST camera integration and testing team inserted a raft of nine imaging sensors into the body of the ComCam. This miniature version of the LSST camera will be used for telescope commissioning. Check out photos of this and other...

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will track billions of objects for 10 years, creating unprecedented opportunities for studies of cosmic mysteries.

These projects, selected during the process to plan the future of US particle physics, are all set to come online within the next 10 years.

To keep up with an impending astronomical increase in data about our universe, astrophysicists turn to machine learning.

The LSST cryostat, now fully assembled, will keep the camera’s image sensors continuously cooled to minus 150 degrees Fahrenheit for crisp, high-sensitivity views of the night skies.
