The largest digital camera ever built for ground-based astronomy, the 3.2-gigapixel Legacy Survey of Space and Time Camera is the size of a small car and weighs more than 3 tons.

This photo shows the 3,200-megapixel focal plane of Rubin Observatory’s LSST Camera, under construction at SLAC.

By detecting minute traces of original pigments in fossils, X-ray imaging at synchrotrons has given scientists the chemical evidence needed to discover the actual colors of ancient life forms. 

The ultrafast, ultrabright X-ray pulses of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) have enabled unprecedented views of a catalyst in action, an important step in the effort to develop cleaner and more efficient energy sources.
