The world's largest camera built in Menlo Park

The first images taken by the world's largest camera are coming in from the National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park.

The camera is located atop Cerro Pachón, a mountain in central Chile but it was constructed at Stanford's SLAC lab. 

It cost $168 million and weighs more than 6,000 pounds.

The camera will shoot photos of 20 billion galaxies and give new insight to scientists about space.
