@@onlytruth9269 Hi! Nope, they declared that everyone will have unlimited access to Vera Rubin Telescope astronomical database. That will be the first publicly available database of such a vast size. Just imagine, current, only several hours old deep sky data, up to m24 magnitude, for every mere mortals like myself! For free, only several mouseclics away! The only disadvantage will be that it won't cover a large chunk of northern sky.
I am more excited about LSST than I am JWST. It is going to change the way we perceive the sky. Of course, we still have that pesky little problem of 95% of the universe being undetectable to us. I'll reeaally be excited when we come up with a telescope to see that--of course, it might just scare the hell out of us, too.
Meteoritics is my astronomical forte. The asteroid data from LSST will be a big boost worldwide. Now, if we can only get an observatory named after the Master of Meteoritics H.H.Nininger all will be well in the cosmos! Clear skies!
Hey there saw your comment on nick Nimmins stream and thought I’d come and check out your channel! Loved the energy and set up, overall great channel! As a video creator on UA-cam myself I always sub to my fellow creators to show support so you just got yourself a new sub
I’m interested in nebulae as these seem to fascinate me for some reason. Jupiter and it’s moons and Saturn and it’s moons are always something of interest. Not having a telescope of my own makes these videos a go to source. There are several telescopes in process of being built or somewhat near a completion. These massive guys are always on my mind! Enjoyed the video!👍🏻
Yeah, I was a little surprised to learn AO is on the primary/tertiary mirror, but I couldn't find any useful info on how they're planning to pull it off.
Christian, you do a great job! I do not believe LSST will use AO. It will be taking so many images each night making that impossible. It also images in 6 different wavelengths. I've been to the Richard Carris Optical Lab where the mirror was produced and it was indeed unique looking. Observation Properties: The standard visit = 2 x 15 sec. exposures Exposure sequence = 1 s open shutter + 14 s dwell + 1 s close shutter = 16 s Visit sequence = 16 s exp + 2 s readout + 16 sec exp = 34 s (second readout concurrent with slew) Median slew time between visits = 4.8 s Mean slew time between visits = 6.8 s Visits per night = "about a 1000" Calibration exposures = 450/day Data collected per 24 hr period = "about 20 TB"
Thanks for the feedback, Phil! I can't remember where I read all 3 mirrors were under adaptive optics (in addition to active optics) but like I said in my earlier comment, I had no idea how they would pull it off. It makes a lot more sense to not bother with it at all in the interest of expediency. Thanks for the observation breakdown. My understanding is that they may consider modifications if the science case warrants it but this looks much like what I read as well. Good to know I'm not crazy!
The only problem for the LSSTis that it only covers the Southern Hemisphere. It might miss an asteroid coming at us from the north. If this one prove effective, may we could get one for us Northern folks. Hawaii come to mind.
Ich bin so gespannt auf die ersten Bilder dieses Teleskops. Es sind großartige Neuigkeiten inmitten so vieler Unglauben an die Wissenschaft mit dem SARS Covid 19. Lassen Sie uns die Show beginnen und uns allen einen "ersten" Platz in diesem Welttheater des wirklichen Lebens geben.
Are you working with the chanel DTTV - Science Answers? Because I noticed the the LSST section of thier video "Gigantic Telescopes of the Very Near Future | Tech Documentary | Building the Ultimate Impossible" has a different narrator reading your narration from this video. Haven't checked to see if the other sections are also copied from you. Go to about 8 minutes into their video and it is word for word with this video from about 30 seconds.
Umm...no I'm not working with them. It looks like the plagiarized my videos on the Giant Magellan Telescope and Extremely Large Telescope as well. Wow.... Thank you for telling me about this.
Yeah, but there will be nothing for the public to see--other scopes show smaller and dimmer stuff. The magic of this is that it looks at EVERYTHING every night. Then they'll print all the images, and a staff of 10,000 professional astronomers will sit at desks at the top of that mountain staring into blink comparators all day, examining the previous night's data for stuff that changed. It makes me regret switching majors from astronomy to computers, because astronomers will be in such short supply that they'll be paid _astronomical_ salaries!
It sounds like there would be enormous redundancy in the data collected by the LSST. Is the intent to store most of the data in a compressed lossless format? Compression of individual images might reduce the storage requirements a great deal but even more compression is possible if they started using the redundancy in multiple images of the same place in the sky.
Yeah, there's a lot of data that will need to be handled. In fact, we spoke with two of LSST's data pipeline team members in one of our livestreams who gave us some insight into the tools they're building.
Yeah, it's a really huge lens. My understanding is that it's made by the University of Arizona optical lab - same folks who make the mirrors. Really amazing stuff!
@@LaunchPadAstronomy Thank you, but I very much doubt that UZ actually makes any one of the components, especially the mirror, and the lens. The lens is most likely LEICA, or Carl-Zeiss, from Germany, and the mirror is likely from Japan!!! Both are highly specialty works, NOT to be toyed around in universities!!!
Actually the mirrors were fabricated and polished at the UA mirror lab in 2014, using a special borosilicate glass imported from Japan. The M1M3 (primary) mirror is currently undergoing optical testing and optimization at the UA mirror lab. Nothing being toyed around with here.
@@LaunchPadAstronomy Thanks. I am quite surprised of course. The reflecting substance is what I am most curious about, it is probably NOT mercury, since mercury probably causes too much distortion, so I wonder if they use purified palladium-coating, or platinum, or silver, or some fancier stuff?? Any clues??
i really hope our understanding of the inner oort cloud and kuiper belt explodes, there is still so much hidden deep in the outer solar system. though plenty of other amazing observations will happen too. i really can't wait!
“Far Out.” I have had over a half century love of astronomy and owned a few scopes so a consequence is an appreciation of what is being built here and what it will show us. And the engineering...wow.
All I have found so far is instruments and construction cost from US Nat. Science Foundation and Dept of Energy is over $600M through May 2019. I don't know what international contributions have been, if any. The US is committed to spending about $28 M per year for operations
800 images a night at 3.2 GigaPixels per image is 2.56 TeraPixels. If one day's data is 15 terabytes, each pixel is 16 bits each of each red/green/blue. So how do they store that many hard drives?
If I had to solve such a storage problem, id solve it by not storing most of it. Take image, detect bright objects, compare with known bright objects that should be there, discard image if no discrepancies, store only parts that differ from expected results. Then again, 15TB is not that much for the budget involved, you can certainly order a truckload of storage. It's just that if a particular bit of the sky has nothing interesting going on, you will never look at it again, so why bother storing.
@@aleksandersuur9475 If a region has nothing interesting, you will look at it again to see if anything has changed. But yes, discarding a lot of black pixels can help. All the same, there will be grad students shoving new hard drives into storage bays every day
It's not a NASA project, but it's actually quite interesting to see where a project like that gets its funding from, the answer might surprise you. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Synoptic_Survey_Telescope#History
That's an interesting question. Gaia has very precise astrometry and picked up a bunch of new asteroids in the process. It's also sensitive down to 20th magnitude. But LSST will be sensitive down to 24.5 mag and have the time resolution in multiple colors. So my bet would be on LSST over the long run.
@@LaunchPadAstronomy Wiki has the 10-year survey starting in January of 2022 but I think that information is old. There have been numerous weather delays in construction. According to aura-astronomy.org, engineering first light is anticipated in 2020, followed by science first light in 2021 and full operations for a ten-year survey commencing in October 2022.
The scifi side of me wants it to catch some form of advance alien life traveling threw space, the realistic more scientific side of me wants it to catch a big star going supernova and collapsing into a black hole or if novas are just part of a stars cycle during its life
Did any new computing systems need to be created to parse all this data? Like, new databases, or algorithms? It seems that a lot of stuff coming up uses an AMAZING amount of data! However, data by itself is useless if it cannot be scanned for trends in a timely manner.
There's quite a lot of data management systems engineering that's underway right now. Check out our conversation with the LSST data scientists ua-cam.com/video/i4dJZSyfig4/v-deo.html
No. LSST is an optical telescope, which is a completely different instrument than what is needed to detect gravitational waves. You might be thinking of LIGO?
Now if that’s not something to get excited about, I don’t know what is! 👏👏 Humans do some very stupid shit on average, but it’s just amazing - and somehow so redeeming - what a small fraction of committed and smart humans can achieve! 🎉
It's supported at its edges. While a roughly 40 inch telescope lens was the biggest that could be used, the lens in the LSST is very low power, more of a "corrector", and even though it will sag a bit from gravity the distortion won't affect its performance the way it would as a primary objective such as on the Yerkes refractor.
(1) If there's a large planet in our solar system which hasn't been discovered yet, we might see it. (2) More interstellar rocks will be seen visiting our solar system. (3) More Kuiper-belt objects, more Oort-cloud objects (4) Eclipsing binaries could be discovered by combing the data. (5) If any stars are getting a bit uppity, we would be able to nail them and wag a stern finger at them, then tell them to stop it.
At 3.2GP x800 is 2.56Tera pixels (or should be around 2.56 Terabytes ) (3 Terabyte ) given that Raw files are approximately the same in Megabytes to the equivalent mega pixel, so I’m 🤷🏼♂️ as to how you got 15 TB .
Question - if telescopes can see only a small patch of the sky and needing to look at it for hours, daily, it will take us oceans of time to see the beauty yhe cosmos. Alternatively , thousands of telescopes need to be in services.
@@LaunchPadAstronomy Consider a a4 sheet of paper as the sky. That is divided into 4 equal parts and each part is the the area which a telescope can see st any given time and it has to be pointed wt it for 4hrs. So, in a 24hr day, we can see only the area , i.e a4 paper size ewhich fioc
I wonder how many gigapixels per night will be of Elon Musk's starlink satellites Oh well, poor boy is only a multi billionaire so there's nothing else to do if he's to become a trillionaire. :-(
5000 terabytes a year isn't even that much. Biggest drives you can get are 18tb, 278 hdds needed per year. That's less than 1 of these drives per day. For a professional telescope collecting huge amounts of data. That's nothing
No it is NOT 3.2 billion pixels. It is 3 thousand 200 million pixels. A billion is 10 to the 12th and not 10 to the 9 which is a thousand million. No wonder America crash robots on planets.

Thank you for these informations! Could you do a video to explain the optic system of the LSST?
Very nicely explained
Remember when amateur astronomers could discover things in their own backyards?
I don't think LSST will necessarily put them out of business, especially those in the northern hemisphere :)
That's still the case, as the discovery of the Soap Bubble Nebula shows. It was discovered by amateur, using a 160mm refractor, in 2007.
Being an astronomer all my life, am well aware of the many telescope designs and unique purposes. The RFT has always been my favourite.
