A giant digital camera located at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile has provided astronomers with a fresh perspective on the universe.
The camera, which is world's largest, was specifically designed to capture distant regions of outer space.
During a recent press conference, the observatory unveiled its inaugural images, showcasing stars, galaxies, and thousands of previously undiscovered asteroids.
The camera is known for its high resolution and capability to take sharp pictures from great distances.
In its initial photos, two nebulas, large and colorful clouds of dust and gas, were revealed, situated thousands of light-years away from Earth.
One light-year equals the distance light travels in a year, approximately 6 trillion miles.
The project was overseen by Željko Ivezić, who described the camera as 'the greatest astronomical discovery machine ever created'.
He emphasized that the camera will continue to document deep space over the next decade, with the goal of capturing images of 20 billion galaxies.
Additionally, this technology will support astronomers in exploring dark matter, a mysterious substance that plays a role in shaping the universe.
Furthermore, the camera will aid in the detection of asteroids that potentially pose a threat to Earth, preventing potential collisions.
