The New Vera C Rubin Obsservatory in Chile is a fast telescope designed to survey the night sky at great depth and revisiting the same locations every few days. That means it's designed to collect data about the sky over space and TIME, this massive data set will grow 30 terabytes per day, and instead of requesting telescope time for scientific studies scientists will just be able to grab the data they need and apply computer power to analyze their problem.
It's an absolutely revolutionary design in terms of its optics, camera, structure and processing power, and it will change our understanding of the universe.
