LLST World's largest camera the LLST Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) CameraThe Vera C. Rubin Observatory, formerly the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), is an astronomical observatory in Coquimbo Region, Chile. Its main task is to conduct an astronomical survey of the southern sky every few nights, creating a ten-year time-lapse record, termed the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (also abbreviated LSST). The observatory is located on the El Peñón peak of Cerro Pachón, a 2,682-meter-high (8,799 ft) mountain in northern Chile, alongside the existing Gemini South and Southern Astrophysical Research Telescopes. The base facility is located about 100 kilometres (62 miles) away from the observatory by road, in La Serena.
The observatory is named for Vera Rubin, an American astronomer who pioneered discoveries about galactic rotation rates. It is a joint initiative of the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science and is operated jointly by NSF NOIRLab and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
The Rubin Observatory houses the Simonyi Survey Telescope, a wide-field reflecting telescope with an 8.4-meter primary mirror. It uses a variant of three-mirror anastigmat to deliver sharp images over a 3.5-degree-diameter field of view. Images are recorded by a 3.2-gigapixel charge-coupled device imaging (CCD) camera, the largest camera yet constructed.
Rubin is expected to catalog millions of supernovae, more than five million asteroids (including ~100,000 near-Earth objects), and image approximately 17 billion stars and 20 billion galaxies.

The telescope was originally named the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, where the word synoptic—derived from the Greek words σύν (syn 'together') and ὄψις (opsis 'view')—describes observations that give a broad view of a subject. In June 2019, the observatory was renamed the Vera C. Rubin Observatory as proposed by United States Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson and Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico Jenniffer González-Colón. The renaming was enacted as United States law on 20 December 2019, and announced at the 2020 American Astronomical Society winter meeting. The name honors Rubin and her colleagues' probes of the nature of dark matter by mapping and cataloging billions of galaxies through space and time. The telescope itself is named the Simonyi Survey Telescope, in recognition of private donors Charles and Lisa Simonyi. The LSST acronym was repurposed to refer to the survey that the observatory will perform as the "Legacy Survey of Space and Time", with the camera as the "LSST Camera" May the Holy Roman Catholic Church build telescopes study the starts to tell time of when Christ shall return in order to be blessed by God the Father God the Son & God the Holy Spirit Hallelujah Hallelujah Blessed be the word of the Lord for Christ is risen Hallelujah Hallelujah peace be still in Nomine Patris et FiLii et Spiritus Sancti amen
