    The largest camera ever built for astrophysics arrived this week at the Rubin Observatory at Cerro Pachón in Chile.

    The LSST camera, built by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, CA, is the final major component of the Rubin Observatory's Simonyi Survey Telescope to arrive at the summit.

    Development of the observatory has been funded by the NSF and the DOE.

    First light is expected in Dec 2023.
