World's Largest Camera, the 3.2-Gigapixel LSST, Is Complete 

😅😅

No it will be in S69

Exactly 😂✋

Galaxy s30 man

S420

Ayyyeeee 😂

you know this zooms in, not zooms out, so failed joke here

Then we have to take yo mama to space and then take a picture 😂😂

@@Seva98a even when zoomed in yo mama be the size of planets bruh lmao

oh snap!

Yes, where indeed :).

Load it up with 50tb ruler drives like they're sd cards. Lol it scales up linearly like tiny sd card tiny camera, giant camera... giant flash storage

​@@98f5That will save about one image.

@@98f5 Speaking of flash.. what size will the flash bulb be?

@@roseanneroseannadanna9651 blinding lol

the focal length is probably way further then that

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Its gonna be attached to a new Earth Telescope in 2025 so not that far (but I get ur point)

@@shuttzi9878 This is so excitingin 2025 will be able to see insane images like similar to JWST?

@@AGuyNamedDan79I don’t think it has resolution as good as JWST, but the cool thing is that it’ll take pictures _constantly._ It’ll probably increase the number of know asteroids tenfold. If there’s a planet nine out there and it’s visible from the southern hemisphere, this thing will find it. It’ll capture all sorts of events that only last briefly, probably plenty that we’ve never even seen before!

It'll be a very boring movie though. If you think your bottom hurts after a 4 hour movie, try 10 years.

@@oberonpanopticon The resolution is actually better, so high in fact u could see a golf ball from 15 miles away without any zooming

If your golfball is that far away, maybe it’s best just to take a penalty stroke and use a new golfball.

It doesn't sound impressive aye, since galaxies are a little further than 15miles away. Maybe wait for V3

​@@devarmont87Imagine a golf ball 15 miles away, not on the ground but in the night sky. If your telescope can detect that, stars and galaxies of similar relative size and scale would be detectable as well.

@@uriituwAgree. It would probably be a bit misshaped after that drive anyway.

i doubt its designed to focus at 15 miles. its probably a relative arc-sec equivalence.

But then they might forget to take it off and ruin the whole vacation. LOL! But seriously, that's actually a good idea. That is a clean room they're in, but still even a single spec of dust could ruin an image.

There is a thin exterior filter on it, you can see light reflecting off of it at 1:26 and also the mounting ring connectors.

Of course, the world’s largest lens also has the world’s largest lens cap. Over 5’ across and “only” 40 lbs

Why do you need a lens cap? There is nothing but light going to touch the lens.

@@deang5622 There is no lens, you see a sensor hood with a protective filter. this is a direct imaging camera- only a shutter and the sensor array.

The data processing for this thing is gonna be interesting, that’s for sure. But if they can make the LHC work with however many petabytes of data that thing generates, I’m sure they can manage this too.

more like 1/100 of a second

10gb if it's compressed down to garbage lol. They said they gonna make a 10 year movie with it. That's gonna be a thousand petabytes or something ridiculous

Yeah I was like WTH?

Ты родился весной и первый раз увидел снег зимой ? Телескоп Хаббл еще 9 лет назад снял Андромеду в 4.3 гигапикселя )) Загугли )

They already have it in the Huawei.

The thing already costs $680 million and you want to put it in space???

It's waaaaaay too big to put into space. The mirror is like 3x the size of Web and JWST already had to be folded to get it into space, this has much higher resolution also. They serve different purposes.

@@bobbygetsbanned6049 Самая большая камера ??? А как же Хаббл в 2015 году делал снимок Андромеды разрешением в 4.3 гигапикселя ???

@@homuchoghoma6789 I don't know the official megapixel rating for Hubble but it was launched in 1990, and from what I can find online it's more like 15 megapixels. Most likely the image you're talking about is a bunch of pictures stitched together, which is how the Hubble deep field image was made. So the image would have a high pixel count but the actual camera is much lower.

Eyy

Infinity is a long way away. Are we there yet?

They say the observable universe is much smaller than the actual universe. Which means we will never see it. The galaxies beyond our view are moving away faster than the speed of light, so it seems unlikely that we will ever catch up.

There are more planets in the universe than there are grains of sand on Earth.

@@zunedog31 Yup.

@@zunedog31 people always reference this as if its some astounding fact. Really doesn't seem that hard to believe

That for sure, not doubt about that ❤

And disable the malfunctioning parts if needed

The trick about this camera is that it can see the golf ball without zooming in. It's the size of the image that's special, not the detail in zooming.

@@panner11 They're joking. Look up the CSI "enhance" meme.

validation against ISOs

@@profpuffofficial2 I have seen systems built for the USAF. By time it went operational, cpus and OSs were about 4 generations behind. I worked on one recently were we just upgraded from XP 2 years ago.

Unfortunately Sasquatches and martians know where every camera on earth is, and know exactly how far away they have to be in order to appear suitably blurry

@@oberonpanopticon Plot twist they have cloaking tech like the predator and have been trolling us the whole time :)

What was it? 😯

Do you have a terminal disease? The thing goes online in 2025 and begins full operations in 2027

@@oberonpanopticon The movie will take TEN YEARS to complete. I guess you didn't pay attention. Yes I have a terminal disease. It's called old age.

пенис? )

Think you would have to stand 15 miles away! lol

From 0:32 and for about a minute.

It has been planning AND engineering AND testing over 20 years (said at 0:20) and not just tested over 20 years. So it's not like this camera was built 20 years ago and has been tested ever since.

The high cost is due to maintenance work for 20 years on the building its housed in 😂

It doesn't matter how much digital photogrphyvhas advanced in that time. This camera is bigger in terms of pixel count than every other spaced based camera before it. You just can't take commercial digital SLR cameras and put them into space. And you can't scrap this project and say "we'll start from scratch and use newer digital imaging chips and technology as that will then add another ten years to the project...and if you do that, your same argument applies, during that time digital photography has moved on and you will be expecting them to abandon the project again. If you keep on applying that logic, the camera will never make it into space.

The consumer-grade digital photography advanced in different areas. Like, making the sensors smaller - which is not the point here, they need it big because they need to capture the distant light sources which are feint, so you want to capture as much light as possible. And it mostly advanced in software like, the SW used for autofocus, color corrections (white balance etc), which is presumably mostly irrelevant (the focus will be set to infinity constantly and the colors shown to public in space photos are not real anyway) Some of the aspects are basically the same as 20 years ago - unless there was some breakthrough in glass-making process, then making the lenses is no different. I would say the 20 years was mostly bureaucracy (getting the funds, vendor contracts, etc), then engineering and prototyping, and the sensors might have been manufactured recently (they might have used smaller or fewer for proofs of concept in the meantime)

Actually - not that much. Most of the innovations have been in areas that are not that important for something like this - i.e. video, auto focus speed, sensor read out speed. I have images from a 20 year old digital camera that are pretty damn good even by todays standards.

Yes. It’s a next generation survey telescope - it’ll take of about a million images of the entire southern sky over the course of around 5 years. It’ll let us see basically anything that’s moving, and plenty of transient events that we might’ve otherwise missed.

@@oberonpanopticon hopefully it's also good at spotting asteroids too

Giant multi-gigabyte (around 6.5 GB) uncompressed monochromatic photos of space, and one version of the same image for each of the filters. Then all of that is transfer to computer clusters to be post-processed into data or images. The only thing I would like to know is how to send all that data, but I imagine it would like transporting the hard drives due to the size of all the operation each year, around 1.28 petabytes or 1.28 million gigabytes of data. And while here in Chile we have really fast and affordable internet (I have 600 Mbps at home, and hoping this year I could move to fiber optic), I don't think not enough to send the files though the wires 😅

@@EduardoEscarez That is indeed an incredible amount of data to be managing/transferring. Very cool.

Bingo

Sold separately of course

He said they started building it 20 years ago
