The largest digital camera ever built has started filming a 10 year movie of the universe. From a mountaintop in Chile, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s 3,200-megapixel camera is now photographing the entire southern sky every few nights, producing roughly ten terabytes of data per night. The goal is an ultra-wide, ultra-high-definition time-lapse of the cosmos: pulsating stars, supernova explosions, asteroid orbits, & clues to dark energy and dark matter https://rubinobservatory.org/explore/how-rubin-works/technology/data
