The Department of Energy has given the go-ahead for construction to begin on the world’s largest and most powerful digital camera. Forming the digital ‘eye’ of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), to be built at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford University, the camera will take images at a resolution of 3.2 gigapixels, or 1,500 times the resolution of an HD television or approximately 400 times that of the iPhone 6 camera.
