Holy schnakies. Not exactly walking-around gear.  Rubin Observatory's LSST Camera is an impressive piece of equipment. The size of a small car, it's the largest digital camera ever built. Its sensor has a mind-boggling 3200 megapixels—roughly the same number of pixels as 260 modern cell phone sensors. https://rubinobservatory.org/explore/how-rubin-works/technology/camera Here’s a neat little slideshow https://rubinobservatory.org/slideshows/lsst-camera-like-your-camera-but-bigger |
ProTip: Never pick a fight with a tree planter. He swings a hoedad for 9 hours a day, carries 30-40 pounds of seedlings on his back, and has 12-14 friends just like him hiding out on the other side of the junk butt pile. They will fuck your shit up.
