The world's largest digital camera has begun a decade-long mission to map the southern night sky from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile.
Perched atop Cerro Pachón, the camera is about the size of a small car and weighs around 3,000 kilograms. Over the next 10 years, it will capture around 700 to 800 images every night, creating an unprecedented survey of the universe.
