When it takes up residency at the Vera Rubin Observatory in the high desert of Cerro Pachon, Chile, its job will be to capture the southern night sky, snapping an image every 15 seconds. The camera will capture 3,200 megapixels per shot and collect 15 terabytes of data per night over a 10 year period. It’s estimated there will be 10,000 scientific users for the data, including backyard telescope hobbyists.
