      When your CCD has orders of magnitude more pixels than anything possible up til then, and you extrapolate for 10 years of uninterrupted survey going automatically. The thing is, that it is a survey: they are not looking for anything specific at that stage, just make a better map of everything. - Would have been interesting to know the amount of hard drives they will need for that... (- now I imagine a big “Elite Dangerous” update in 10 years^^ - or astronomers using “Google Universe” like tourists use “Google Earth / Maps”)

    • @Stadtpark90
      @Stadtpark90 4 года назад +10

      Michel Schweinsberg well it doesn’t “surpass everything” - the claim was for the amount of data, not the magnification. Telescopes are built for special purposes, and this one is a survey telescope - looking at larger patches of sky regularly (picturing the whole southern hemisphere every 3 days for 10 years iirc). - edit: deleted my wrong statement as I stand corrected.

    • @brycering5989
      @brycering5989 4 года назад +29

      Yes, I am wondering too. apart from the potential of the weight to warp and change the surface area, I am curious about the pressures under the amount of weight potentially changing the density of the lens material (Gradients) sufficiently to create distortions. Uniform distribution of the pressure would be required and needed to be accounted for prior to creating the dimensions for the surface area.

      My back-of-the-napkin calculation of 320nm (UV wavelength) / 8.4m (primary diameter) x 360,000km (moon's perigee) yields a ballpark resolution of 14 meters. Online telescope resolution calculators yield slightly larger results (~24m).
      Wikipedia lists the angular resolution as 0.7 arc seconds (median seeing limit) and 0.2 arc seconds (pixel size). The latter yields a resolution of about 350m at moon distance.

      I don't understand why people are saying it's not possible when the girl in the interview literally said they'd be able to see a golf ball at the same distance as the moon. If they will be able to see a golf ball at that distance and resolution, why wouldn't they be able to see *larger* objects *on* the moon?

      Most deep space images you see are "digitally enhanced" and the real image doesn't give us any real information on what's going on out there. Most of what you hear about deep space knowledge is made up fairy tales designed to get more funding. When I say "fairy tales" what I mean is that there's large gaps in-between data that we are able to collect and what we can learn from it and you won't get more funding if you're honest answer is "it's too blurry to make out what kind of landscape it has and the data is to inconsistent to use any modern technology to answer any questions about what we are seeing". If you don't believe me you can find it in fine print on NASA official website on any planet picture they post that isn't blurry and also isn't Mars.

    • @christianmatthe1
      @christianmatthe1 4 года назад +1

      More data does not meanbetter in every way. This telescope will produces lots of data, because it takes an image every few minutes with the largest CCD ever built (about 3000 megapixels). This is very usefull for its intended purpose i.e. detecting changes in in the entire visible sky by imaging all of it every 3 days. However most other telescopes perform much more specialized tasks to which the LSST would be entirely useless. USing your example of the Black hole event horizon picture: The minimum resolvable angle (i.e. how small is the smallest thing you can see) of this telescope is not actually particularly impressive compared to other single telescopes or as you mentioned multiple of (in the examples case Radio) telescopes working together.
      Side note: this telescope also does not perform spectroscopic work beyond a few color filters. Most of modern astro physics is based on Spectoscopy rather than imaging.
      None of which is to say that this will not be an impressive and usefull instrument, well outdoing anything in its *class*.

But also the precise definition she's using to quantify an amount of data is kind of ambiguous.
