The largest digital camera ever built is now capturing ultra-high-definition images and videos of space like we’ve never seen before. But what you might not know is that the University of Washington was pivotal in making it possible. Huskies helped build the 3.2-billion-pixel telescopic camera at the newly launched Rubin Observatory in Chile, designed the systems that keep its images sharp, and developed entirely new algorithms to process the massive amounts of data from the observatory’s rapid scans of the sky — revealing the secrets of our solar system and beyond. #GoHuskies #universityofwashington #BeBoundless #rubinobservatory #space
