The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has installed the LSST Camera, the world's largest digital camera, marking a key milestone. This camera will capture detailed images of the southern hemisphere sky over the next decade. The LSST Camera is crucial for creating a high-definition time-lapse record of the universe. Each image will be so large that it would require 400 ultra-high-definition TV screens to display. Following its installation, the camera's systems will be connected and tested. The observatory, located in Chile, is expected to begin operations in 2025.
