LSST is a very interesting project that will lead to a lot of discoveries. I've been following it closely because 3 of my friends are working on the design and construction.

The LSST "sensor" is a giant mosaic of 189 medium format sensors stitched together. Camera Subsystem | LSST has more info about the camera engineering.

Don't that just bring a little tear to the eye? It's just so beautiful. Can't wait to see what it can do.
