Cabbage secrets revealed by super telescope and giant temple camera
What would you do to test the sensors of the world's largest digital camera? For this you need to take a picture of broccoli (a type of cabbage).
This may sound strange to you. But it would be a good
temptation to photograph the complex shapes found in the Romesco version of
this plant in Rome with all its details.
The performance of the camera installed in the Vera Rabon
Observatory in Chile is everything.
This 3.2 gigapixel device will play an important role in
finding answers to many astronomical questions.
And who knows ... This may bring us closer to resolving the
confusion between 'dark energy' and 'dark matter', which is very important in
the evolutionary process of all these bodies and which we can see in the
vastness of space.
The Chilean observatory's VRO device will do what is being described as a great map of the sky.
The observatory will continuously survey all the expanses of
the sky for a period of ten years at intervals of a few days.
Not only will Reuben record the locations of billions of
stars and galaxies, but he will also record every moving and flickering snake.
The data collected from it will keep scientists and researchers busy for
decades to come.
But for this type of survey, the VRO will need a very special camera, a camera that is being integrated into the National Accelerator Laboratory in the US state of California.
The heart of this camera will consist of a 64 cm wide focal
plane and 189 individual sensors or char coupled devices.
Combining all these components and assembling their complex
electronics in such a way that they become perfectly compatible is a very
difficult and demanding task.
But the pictures released on Tuesday show that this extremely
complex and difficult task has been completed in a cheerful and successful
manner.
The team working at the SLAC in California has not yet
received all the camera equipment, including their lenses, so they reflected
the images from the 150 micron pinhole on the CCD.
The cabbage variety was deliberately chosen due to its
complex surface shape.
So how standard were these pictures? If you want to see them
in 'full size' at 'full resolution', you will need an ultra high definition TV
screen of 378 four.
"If you want to complete this survey, we need a very
large telescope and a very large camera," said, director of VRO.
He told: "This three billion pixel camera will cover ten
square degrees of the sky and give you a sense of what is forty times larger
than the moon. These cameras will take pictures of the sky every fifteen
seconds.
He added that the camera will also be able to take pictures
of the depths of the sky, but most importantly, it will also be able to tell if
a star has increased or decreased its brightness and every movement on the
horizon. Karti will be seen including meteors and planets.
Vera Rubin is primarily an American project, but it also has
international dimensions. "
Numerous communications spacecraft orbiting in lower orbits
in space can interfere with camera-derived imagery.
Billionaire investor Alan Musk's company SpaceX is currently preparing to launch several satellites into space.
Professor Kahn said that VROL is in touch with the experts of
Musk's company and is trying to find a solution to this problem so that the
images of VRO are not disturbed.
The director of the observatory said that a closer connection was needed with a company called OneWeb, a joint venture between the UK and India.
This network of planetary planets will make it harder than
space X planets because spacecraft are at higher altitudes in space and will
stay longer in front of the VRO.
Professor Kahn told that British astronomers had approached a number of scientists to persuade them to cooperate with OneWeb.
VRO's camera is expected to start capturing space instead of
cabbage in 2022.

Wao interesting
