The LSST Data Management Team is starting to orient the astronomy community to what’s coming with a series of conferences and workshops. “We try to cover as many meetings as we can, ...

Keeping the instructions clear. LSST has two main objectives: immediate data processing and long-term data aggregation. In the very short term—in the first 60 seconds after the LSST captures an image, ...

Now under construction atop a mountain in northern Chile, the 8.36-metre Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will sweep the entire southern sky every three nights when it starts operating in ...

Over the course of the LSST's 10-year exploration of the cosmos, the Rubin Observatory will take 5.5 million data-rich images of the sky. Wider and deeper in volume than all previous surveys ...

The Photometric LSST Astronomical Time-Series Classification Challenge, or PLAsTiCC, hosted on the Kaggle.com platform, provided a simulated data set for 3 million objects and tasked participants with ...

Scientists are currently building the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), which will conduct the most ambitious all-sky survey of the universe to date, and Rochester Institute of Technology is ...

The Rubin Observatory’s key goal is the 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), a sweeping, near-constant observation of space. This endeavor will yield 60 petabytes of data on the ...

That followed installation of a key piece of equipment, the camera data acquisition system, last month. Originally, the telescope had been due to begin operations in 2014, before those plans slipped ...

During operations, LSST will take a 3.2 gigapixel image of a 3.5 degree field of view (that's 9 full moons across!) every 30 seconds, resulting in about 15 terabytes of data every night.

Over its ten-year run, LSST will generate something like a couple hundred petabytes of data, where a petabyte is 10-to-the-15th bytes. That's more data, by a lot, than everything that's ever been ...

The 3,200-megapixel LSST camera for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory is completed. The car-sized camera will create "the greatest movie of all time" to crack the mystery of dark energy.

The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Camera is the size of a small car—and the biggest digital camera ever built for astronomy. By Andrew Paul Published Apr 3, 2024 9:00 AM EDT Get the ...
