Considering that the entire competition is a handful of telescopes with decades-old hardware and what's effectively a bunch of amateurs making a handful observations in a night, it's not difficult to generate more data than all of them combined.
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”)
When you look at something like the Hubble and all of the incredible images it has produced, it is pretty impressive to think they are going to surpass everything it has ever done, in like a few months.
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.
Because reality is that astronomer physicists are loons. They don't actually contribute anything to society and most of the "facts" and "findings" aren't true they are just imagined possibilities for purpose of funding and belief system.

That's all you have to say about the amazing engineering and science that she presented? You have the intellect of a worm compared to her. Go back to drinking your moonshine you hick.
In my first job out of school I worked on a 54" diameter lens with a focal length of 8.5 metres. This lens was a display centre piece for the newly opened Kodak Museum in Bradford and was at the time, I believe, the world's largest lens. I contacted the National Science and Media Museum and they confirmed they still have it though it is now in storage at the National Collections Centre and no longer on display.

Magic, especially "Vancian" magic, is practically studied (well, discussed and ruled at length) in RPG of DnD and fantasy literature. So you could say it does follow rules.
actually there's a lot of science to be done just to build most of these kinds of instruments. It's one of the biggest wins in basic research, and why experimental physicists think theoretical physicists are wankers ;)
"hey, we have this idea that theoretically works, and we've already hyped it, please build it on a tight schedule" ^ what I imagine engineering is like
There is something like theoretical limit for resolution based on wavelength, distance and aperture. I am pretty sure, that the thing with golf ball or the moon lander is not possible. But I am not sure, may be somebody can tune in?
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. Seems way too broad to resolve a regulation golf ball.
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?

In 50 years, we will look back at this as such primitive technology, in the same way we look at the computers that ran the moon landing in 1969. That is mind boggling to me.
Fifty years? I remember the first time I saw a one-megapixel astronomical image. In fifty years, the technology that makes the LSST look primitive will look primitive.
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.
@@cormyat07 so anyone who you disagree with must be a flat earther? No I actually do some digging into things I hear. NASA website admits to digitally enhancing pictures and raw photos are usually blurred. NASA has also released concept pictures on articles dubbed "new images" but if you read the fine print then you know it's not an actual picture.
3:08 So.. let me get this straight... This telescope will be able to take inch resolution images of the Moon? That sounds absurd. However, if that is true, it's amazing. Also, i can't wait for high res photos of the Apollo 11 landing site.
I mean, you could, but from the sound of it, you'd be buying some very very expensive replacement sensors, since the light of visible stars can overcome the focal field.
@@jamesburleson1916 As you can see in the video, they have the sensors in normal light, so there is no way starlight will damage the sensors. What she's probably talking about is that the sensors saturate at low light levels.
I’m so bummed that I didn’t get to see you while you were here at SLAC. I work at the LCLS division (which you should do a piece on) and have been following you for a year or so. I’m glad you enjoyed your visit. We do cool stuff every day!

"looks like a giant perfect water droplet" I wonder if using actual water as lenses would be viable. Like using water as the refracting medium and using giant electromagnets and the diamagnetic properties of water to shape it like a lens.
WOW. Oh, and "crispest" is the correct word in the context you were using it. (Crispest image) Crispiest is also a word, but doesn't work in this context. (Crispiest bacon) Your first instinct was correct.
Survey taken. You get my highest vote (because I love the videos). The survey showed me there is a lot of other PBS TH-cam content I would be interested in but I’m not aware of. I’ll have to check those out.
1:29 wait... But weren't we about to use a group of telescopes soon in the future to see better and far away? Like they did with the black hole picture if I'm not mistaken? I don't get it... Is this telescope better than a group of the best telescopes working together?
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*.
Projects like that collect a lot of data about a very, very tiny area. This is collecting data on the entire visible sky. It's like staring at one thing under a microscope versus going up on a mountain and seeing all the way to the horizon. But also the precise definition she's using to quantify an amount of data is kind of ambiguous. And the EHT was a collection of radio telescopes, this is optical.
20 million dollars is a really small amount considering this is the most advanced of them all. At least I was expecting way more. Imagine what Apple, Amazon or Google could make if they all poured their billions into this or some other massive project like it.
I really liked this, and the LIGO video. You are doing some really fun things lately! Thanks for sharing these experiences with us, I might never get to see something like that.
Thats just a flattener lens for that giant mirror telescope. Not "a camera lens". This is not a clickbait video because the girl don't know whats she is talking about.
@@maheepsingh3612 No you don't need anything else. Main mirror of that telescope works same way like lens in camera lens. Just google how mirror telescope works. You can take pictures with that telescope without those lenses. Lenses in this video just makes the picture better than without. And I bet they aren't biggest lenses in the world.

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.
@@anotherguy1260 Lemme guess. Flat-earther?
@@cormyat07 so anyone who you disagree with must be a flat earther? No I actually do some digging into things I hear. NASA website admits to digitally enhancing pictures and raw photos are usually blurred. NASA has also released concept pictures on articles dubbed "new images" but if you read the fine print then you know it's not an actual picture.
@@cormyat07 can you tell me what advancements Astronomers have contributed to the betterment of society? And yes I mean besides making telescopes.

2:00 the joy of a child finding his new favorite toy
I want to see someone make a roll of film for this camera
Surveillaince cameras in the '60-s had extreme size films made for them (for SR71 e.g.)
The way your eyes light up with excitement is just so precious. Loved the video and subscribed.
3:08 So.. let me get this straight... This telescope will be able to take inch resolution images of the Moon? That sounds absurd. However, if that is true, it's amazing. Also, i can't wait for high res photos of the Apollo 11 landing site.
That's going to take a lot of photoshopping to add in the footprints and everything we supposedly left on the moon. It was staged, right? LOL
I mean, you could, but from the sound of it, you'd be buying some very very expensive replacement sensors, since the light of visible stars can overcome the focal field.
@@jamesburleson1916 As you can see in the video, they have the sensors in normal light, so there is no way starlight will damage the sensors. What she's probably talking about is that the sensors saturate at low light levels.
being able to see something at all, versus being able to finely resolve its details is a whole 'nother story.
I doubt it will ever be aimed at the moon. They're after bigger game. Or rather, smaller game.
"I almost never beat PBS Spacetime" Oh, you mean Matt. Yeah, he's pretty great!
Yeah, and Derek from Veritassium too.
What's completely crazy is that these ultra precise lenses have crossed the Atlantic !
(They were coated in France)
Do you know where they where manufactured?
@@waltergrimm7161 It looks like they were designed by the LLNL, made by Ball Aerospace and Arizona Optical Systems and coated by Safran-Reosc
Her fascination and happyness in physics... i want to find something like that for myself
The use of fused silica is also for its near-zero thermal expansion, allowing it to hold its shape extremely well under all conditions.
So excited to see results from this and the JWST!!! :)
That girl that got interviewed has me in love.
Absolutely!
Great topic Physics Girl 👍
I’m so bummed that I didn’t get to see you while you were here at SLAC. I work at the LCLS division (which you should do a piece on) and have been following you for a year or so. I’m glad you enjoyed your visit. We do cool stuff every day!
Your level of excitement is infectious. :-)
I think I'm in love. The way she talks her lense is so amazing, so much love and energy, I wish I would find sth to do I love that much
All THIS and BRAINS too!! thump, thump goes my heart
If you are an audiophile, try making your own speakers, design and build them from scratch. A challenge but something you will love if you are an audiophile.
"looks like a giant perfect water droplet"
I wonder if using actual water as lenses would be viable. Like using water as the refracting medium and using giant electromagnets and the diamagnetic properties of water to shape it like a lens.
It can get impure as the time goes on and there so many factors that can affect water when used as lenses..
@@biobabper123 if it does get impure we could replace it but i wonder what factors could affect it
WOW.
Oh, and "crispest" is the correct word in the context you were using it. (Crispest image)
Crispiest is also a word, but doesn't work in this context. (Crispiest bacon)
Your first instinct was correct.
I am used to hearing "sharpest" when lenses are discussed.
or if you are not sure "most crisp"
@@factChecker01 crispest image, sharpest focus.
However, I've heard "sharpest image" in more recent years too.
Language changes.
Outstanding !!!! as this series ALWAYS is.
Those are some gorgeous lenses.
4:22 You can clearly see Newton's rings on the lense
HER EYES are the biggest lenses
She does have big eyes
8:19 - her BF quoting that without context. "you know... thats what she said - she is a scientist, she only speaks about facts"
Jesus, dude 😂
Survey taken. You get my highest vote (because I love the videos). The survey showed me there is a lot of other PBS TH-cam content I would be interested in but I’m not aware of. I’ll have to check those out.
All the content on your channel amazes me o no end. Thanks for all of this.
Physics girl is so authentically nerdy. It's wonderful too see. And that lens is dope.
Can’t wait till you come to the University of Arizona to see the Mirror Lab where they’re making the new MASSIVE mirrors for the next Hubble!!
Her eyes are so big she's almost a disney character. Love the vids
i found pyhsics girl less than a week ago. had no clue that there was/is new content . I am living in the past . But learning.
These videos keep getting better. That's putting it mildly. I want to give this video 2nd place for coolest TH-cam video yet.
Why am I thinking “this one time, at band camp”...? 😂
Great video. Subscribed 👍
Yeah Michelle
Samsung: I want one of those lenses on every one of my smartphones by 2020!!!
shhh
Wow!
Literally fond of watching Diana 😍
Keep make good stuff!!
How could anyone not Love Dianna as Physics girl. You are awesome.
This is just a bigger version if what astrophotographers use. Quite a bit bigger. And more expensive than 10,000 us dollars.
0:02 do i spot michael from the past?
0:09 aaaand he's gone
Hey Vsauce
Michael here
1:29 wait... But weren't we about to use a group of telescopes soon in the future to see better and far away? Like they did with the black hole picture if I'm not mistaken?
I don't get it...
Is this telescope better than a group of the best telescopes working together?
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*.
Projects like that collect a lot of data about a very, very tiny area. This is collecting data on the entire visible sky. It's like staring at one thing under a microscope versus going up on a mountain and seeing all the way to the horizon. But also the precise definition she's using to quantify an amount of data is kind of ambiguous.
And the EHT was a collection of radio telescopes, this is optical.
"A thing that always introduces chaos - heat." Mind-blown
Why? Heat is the definition of entropy
@@sumiaota3335 this is exactly my point - I was mind blown by the elegancy of this sentence :)
20 million dollars is a really small amount considering this is the most advanced of them all. At least I was expecting way more. Imagine what Apple, Amazon or Google could make if they all poured their billions into this or some other massive project like it.
I really liked this, and the LIGO video. You are doing some really fun things lately! Thanks for sharing these experiences with us, I might never get to see something like that.
I know if I was in that clean room, I would some how manage to drop my keys or something onto the lenses.
Achoo! Oops sorry!
By the way, here's a 20 million dollar bill.
I know of someone who accidentally dropped a spanner onto the primary mirror of a 2.3m telescope once ...
I have this huge exam tomorrow and guess what? It's about lens!!
Bruna Nqm make sure you spell lenses right then
@@momos2790 lol I don't need to bc we don't speak English in my country
👍🏻😁
Bruna Nqm did you pass?
@@Maxumized 9/10 :)
7:24 now that is *TAS-TAY*
Thanks for this video ! I am an engineer in optics (just graudated) and it's so cool to see this kind of lenses !
Got goosebumps when that cover came off the lenses. Very cool!
Why lenses though? 🤔
All the cool telescopes use mirrors.
For the space vampires of course
Chilapa of the Amazons mirrors are more for specific, narrow ranges and this is for wider field.
Thats just a flattener lens for that giant mirror telescope. Not "a camera lens". This is not a clickbait video because the girl don't know whats she is talking about.
It is a mirror telescope. But you need something to capture the image from the telescope no? This is the lens for the camera doing that
@@maheepsingh3612 No you don't need anything else. Main mirror of that telescope works same way like lens in camera lens. Just google how mirror telescope works. You can take pictures with that telescope without those lenses. Lenses in this video just makes the picture better than without. And I bet they aren't biggest lenses in the world.
They: We will unveil the Universe.
Me: I wish I could use it burn some stuff... :(
I just can't believe I have to watch the video twice, when she is such a good teacher, maybe was just 'cause of her eyes, her cute sweetnes and her incredible passion for life distracted me.
You made this so much fun. Your enthusiasm is exciting and contagious!
This video just made my day, thank you for shooting it
Diana :world's largest lenses
Kids who love burning things with lenses and sunlight :😈😈
I came here for Physics Girl & stayed for the cougars!
you can stay for Cougars but the Lenses are going to the Southern Hemisphere where they're called Pumas(actual species name).
.. so I suppose you'll be lonely.
Physics girl is a cougar. Yumummmmmm
I live next to SLAC
OMG, you got me at "WOW!" So cool. Thanks for sharing your geekdom with us fellow geeks.
Great video Dianna, as a photographer I have to ask this question; What is the aperture ?
