  • The new Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) camera will help reveal the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. This is by far the world's biggest digital camera and the world's greatest astronomy camera to capture billions of objects in space. Here's what we know:
  • The world's biggest digital camera can provide a highly detailed photo of an object as small as a golf ball from 15 miles away 
  • The technology is unprecedented
  • It's a 3,250 megapixel camera, built over the past 20 years by scientists and engineers at Stanford University   
  • It weighs 6,600 pounds
  • Number of lenses with the front lens measuring more than 5-feet
  • Now completed and on the move to its location in the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile, on a nearly 9,000-foot mountaintop
  • It will produce a stunning and informative map of the night sky
  • Contains 200 sensors for high resolution
  • Its images of billions of stars could help unlock the secrets of the universe
  • Main job:  to map locations and the brightness of a huge selection of objects, including 37 billion celestial bodies.
  • What an incredible achievement that will provide discoveries and innovations for humanity after 20 years of development.

  • Apple is exploring a big, new business line - home robots.  Here are a few key facts:
  • Apple is developing 2 home robots
  • One is mobile and can follow users around the house
  • The other is a robot with a smart display
  • Apple sees home robots as a potentially big business line for the company as it looks for its "next big thing"
  • The smart display robot would sit on a tabletop and rotate its smart display like a human head, presumably to always be in position to be read by the nearby user
  • It would also contain a feature to zoom in on a person during a multi-person videocall
  • This new product line follows Apple's decision to abandon its electric, self-driving car project that it invested ten years into
  • Experts say the Safety OS to autonomously drive the Apple car could be repurposed for the new home robots.
