The hulking camera, which is being put together at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California, will be able to capture sweeping panoramas of the night sky, reports Joe Palca for NPR. Once installed at the Rubin Observatory, the camera will spend the following decade surveying roughly 20 billion galaxies. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/camera-bound-space-telescope-takes-3200-megapixel-photos-180975758/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc_iscV1uA0
