Stanford is building the “world's largest” digital camera

Stanford is building the “world's largest” digital camera

A team at the Stanford University are working on what they are calling the world's largest digital camera, which was designed to be used to capture images of faint astronomical objects. The camera is being built for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), which is a large aperture telescope used to photograph space atop a mountain in Chile, and to investigate several astronomical phenomena, such as dark energy, dark matter and near-Earth asteroids. So what kind of specs are we looking at here.
