3,200-megapixel (378 4K screens to display the image). Will be installed in the AURA Observatory in Chile
Here’s their YT channel for anyone who wants to follow them for updated news: https://www.youtube.com/@RubinObservatory
And here’s a great article explaining the setup and design: https://www.optica-opn.org/home/articles/volume_35/february_2024/features/the_vera_c_rubin_observatory
