Large Synoptic Survey Telescope

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is a powerful astronomical observatory located in Chile, designed to capture detailed images of the night sky. It will survey the entire sky every few nights, allowing scientists to observe and track celestial objects, including stars, galaxies, and potentially dangerous asteroids. By gathering vast amounts of data, LSST aims to answer fundamental questions about the universe, including its structure, evolution, and the nature of dark matter and dark energy. The project will enhance our understanding of the cosmos and has significant implications for both astronomy and planetary defense.
