Scientist: It took about 10 months at Fermilab in Illinois
to build a camera capable of detecting evidence of dark
energy's effects on the distribution of galaxies, but now you
can watch the construction and testing in 3 minutes 45 seconds,
thanks to a new time-lapse
video,
set to the tune of Johann Pachelbel's
Canon in D major. The camera, whose resolution is
second only to the
Pan-STARRS
telescope, will be installed next year on the Blanco telescope
at the
Cerro Tololo Inter-American
Observatory in Chile.
