See the world's first 3,200-megapixel photos taken in a single shot

Scientists are putting the finishing touches on the LSST camera, the world's largest digital camera. It will spend 10 years mapping the night sky and billions of undiscovered galaxies as part of the Vera C. Rubin observatory in Chile.

The photo resolution looks exactly like my monitor resolution.

iPhone users: my camera is still better

[AndresOssa]

Could you guys use metric system (not imperial system) so the world can understand?

[ronshaddox]

Amazing. It continues getting better and better.

I can't imagine how much space this raw photos took.

[m.r.sterlingproductionsllc]

Just one question. Does it come in an EF mount? Cuuuuzzz that's what all my other glass is.

Cool! Although I expected to see a sharp 3.2GP photo. What use is a blurry photo, when showing off a sensor this capable?

[Noadvantage]

2 things I wish they showed, 1 just on far you could zoom in. They gave an example but never actually showed that. 2 I wonder how big the file size was.

[Lama-itrk]

I love how this broccolo is italian like me :)

[leexvang]

Goodness lawd ... Pixels so sharp that my eyes were bleeding just from looking at it.

[GetRidOfHandles]

When YouTube’s resolution is less than the picture’s resolution

[totallyrevv]

Fun fact: the human eye has over 500 megapixels

[mature]

Lots of scientist die and didn't get to reach their goal of understanding the universe completely
