The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will manage unprecedented volumes of data produced each night. The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope--scheduled to come online in the early 2020s--will use a 3.2-gigapixel camera to photograph a giant swath of the heavens. It'll keep it up for 10 years, every night with a clear sky, creating the world's largest astronomical stop-motion movie. The results will give scientists both an unprecedented big-picture look at the motions of billions of celestial objects o...
