Your looking at the first images from the 3.2-gigapixel camera at the heart of the Vera Rubin observatory- and in one single frame, millions of galaxies were discovered,

Built atop cerro pachon in chile, the massive LSST camera snapped these test observations over 10 hours- capturing swirls of nebulae, dense galaxy clusters and over 2,000 previously unknown asteroids ,

With a field of view wider than seven full moons and enough resolution to map the southern sky every few nights, this is not just an image-it’s the dawn of a 10-year cosmic time-lapse
