LSST (Large Synoptic Survey Telescope)

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is a powerful, wide-field telescope designed to survey the entire sky rapidly and repeatedly over ten years. It captures detailed images of billions of stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects, helping scientists study their past, present, and future. By taking frequent, deep images, LSST can detect transient events like supernovae and track asteroid movements, contributing to our understanding of the universe's structure, dark matter, and dark energy. Located in Chile, it generates massive amounts of data to advance astrophysics and our knowledge of the cosmos.
