Scientists Took the World's First 3,200 MP Photo

Scientists at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California, world's first 3,200 megapixel digital photo pulled.

It was an advanced imaging device built to explore the universe that enabled researchers to take the world's first 3,200-megapixel photo. However, this device still operates as intended. to explore the universe will be used.

Steven Kahn, director of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile “Approximately 20 billion galaxies “We will examine and catalogue.” he said. The world's largest digital camera will be at the center of night sky mapping efforts at this observatory. The camera will take the most detailed photographs of the universe for 10 years.

Talking about the importance of the digital camera, Kahn said: “In fact, most of the night sky has not been imaged by telescopes.” he said. The team working on this camera, which will image the night sky, has just completed the focal plane. This focal plane in question more than half a meter wide and consists of an array of imaging sensors.

It took the team working on the camera about 6 months to bring all these sensors together. The reason why this process takes half a year is that the sensors are removed during the installation process. It was easy to break if they came into contact with each other. The focal plane you see above is made of 189 sensors in total.

Since the camera was not yet completed, a pore projector was used to test the focal plane. As a test, they took photos of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, the team working on the camera, and "romanesco broccoli".
