Named the LSST, or the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, it will be the largest camera in the world. Completion is scheduled for 2019 and it will combine a telescope, mirror, camera, data system and survey technology.

The LSST will record the ENTIRE visible nighttime sky twice a week, taking over 800 panoramic pictures per night.

From these photos it will make an animated 3D map of the universe that will allow us to analyze the solar system in a new way, including studying dark matter and learning more about our home, the Milky Way.

It will be able to cover 10 square degrees of sky, which is 40 times the size of the moon. The camera will focus on taking photos at night, and will be able to capture billions of objects that are too faint to be seen with the naked eye.

Luckily, the 3D maps will be available to the public online each night as it captures the sky. Who’s excited to get their 3D SCIENCE on?

Media access to the Mob is rare, which is why this photo series by Jono Rotman is kind of a big deal. Jono, who is a Wellington born photographer now living in NYC, cut his teeth capturing New Zealand’s prisons and psychiatric wards, before he took on gang life in 2007. We asked him how he convinced hardened gang members to sit for large format photography, and what he learned along the way.

The pool opened in December 2006.

Have you ever thought your backyard or public swimming pool was just too darned small? Maybe it’d be nice to have something a little bigger? How does half a mile long pool sound? What about a deep end that’s 135 feet? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

The San Alfonso del Mar is a private resort in Algarrobo, Chile that boasts the world’s largest swimming pool. Not a bad attraction tourist attraction. The pool is 0.6 miles long covering 20 acres in total. At any given time it contains around 66,000,000 gallons of filtered seawater from the Pacific Ocean.

It currently holds the Guinness World Record for largest pool in the world by area.

That water. Just wow.

The pool cost an estimated $1.5 to $2 billion to build.

The water filtration system alone cost about $3.5 million.

I’m not sure what’s going on here, but I want to join in.

Google maps aerial view of the pool.

Annual maintenance for the pool costs about $4 million.

If you get sick of the pool (not likely) you can go to the beach.

Have you ever wanted to go sailing in a pool? Now you can.

The pool water is about 16°F warmer than the ocean.
