Dark vim Peeping Toms rejoice , because Fermilab has produce the appliance to trance it : A $ 35 million , railway car - sized digital camera , with 74 CCD sensors in it . It will take 570 - megapixel photos of the Universe .
The resulting sensor is one metre in diameter , covering a 2.2 - level field of view . The images are so big that , even with an radical - fast data recording system , each photo will take 17 moment to acquire .
The photographic camera wo n’t photograph the dark vigour itself , however . It will just provide with radical - elaborate injection of the cosmos — tracking 300 million galaxies over the course of five years — which may institute grounds about the beingness of this veiled intergalactic power . Which is too high-risk , because I bet she looks sexy in her undies . [ Dark Energy SurveyviaWired ]
