Snaps from world's best digital camera
The Week Junior Science+Nature UK
|August 2025
The world’s largest digital camera has released its first mind-blowing images of the universe. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile is home to a 3,200-megapixel camera, known as the LSST (Legacy Survey of Space and Time) camera — which is the size of a small car. A top mobile phone camera only has about 50 megapixels (which define how clear an image is).

The new pictures show colourful gas and dust clouds 5,000 light years from Earth. A light year is the distance light travels in one Earth year.
