Scientists capture 3,200-megapixel digital photograph of Romanesco broccoli

Marking ar techlogical feat, scientists in US have captured 3,200-megapixel digital photographs including that of Romanesco broccoli. photographs were captured by Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California. As per Guardian, captured ims are so large that it would take 378 4K ultra-high-definition TV screens to display one of m in full size. 

Researchers are w planning to put camera responsible for ims at new Rubin Observatory in Chile, as it is ‘sensitive’ observatory currently under construction and expected to be operational next year. Once installed at Rubin observatory, camera will produce paramic ims of complete Sourn sky – one parama every few nights for 10 years.

As per petapixel, camera is designed to detect and capture light 100 times dimmer than human visual wavelengths. At Rubin Observatory, camera would be used in tandem with LSST telescope to explore and its activities.

Hubble's lens capture superva

Meanwhile, National Aeronautics and Administration or NASA recently shared striking pictures of one-of-its-kind superva blast as clicked by NASA’s 1990 telescope, Hubble. orbiting telescope shared stunning views of what looked like computer graphics. However, in reality, pictures were of a dying star which shined one last time in .

telescope captured ‘veils draped across sky’ but actually it was a dying star, 400 light-years away, by name Cygnus superva. blast particles and waves formed luminescent lines captured by Hubble. A superva or explosion of a star is a rare occurrence which has happened ar light year away. Only a high-end telescope captures such an occurrence and phemena are invisible to naked sky.
