LSST

LSST, or the Legacy Survey of Space and Time, is a large astronomical project that uses a powerful telescope to scan the night sky extensively. Located in Chile, it aims to capture detailed images of billions of stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects over ten years. This extensive data helps scientists study the universe’s evolution, understand dark matter and dark energy, detect asteroids that could threaten Earth, and explore cosmic phenomena. The LSST's advanced technology allows for rapid, wide-area observations, making it a vital tool for advancing our knowledge of the universe.
