The US Office of Science said in its blog that LSST Digital camera is a game-changer in astronomy, which closely captures events such as dark matter and dark energy. He says that these mysterious powers shape the universe, but were still invisible to the current technology. Now, with LSST, scientists will be able to highlight these mysteries.
This powerful digital camera will be kept at Vera Si Rubin Observatory in Chile. The camera will capture the southern sky, as according to scientists, this area is perfectly suitable for peeping into the depth of space. LSST is a 3 tonne camera, whose diameter of the lens is 5 feet large. In addition, this camera is sharp like electricity, its exposure time is less than 15 seconds.
The blog states that this digital camera can survey the vast part of the night sky in record time. Also, scientists with six special filters, from ultraviolet to Near-Einphrade, can study many types of lights. It is so accurate that it can see the golf ball from 15 miles away. Each snapshot taken from this covers the area seven times larger than the entire moon. It has taken more than two decades to make this camera.
