We love it too!

Ball Aerospace and Arizona Optical Systems, LLC built the lens assembly for the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Camera.

[NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory @VRubinObs]

Yes, we love everything about this giant car-sized camera...especially the @SLAClab team building it! 📷

This 3200-megapixel behemoth will be a key part of Rubin's mission to capture the cosmos in the ultimate sky survey, the ten-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time 🌌
