Dark Energy Camera's 1 millionth exposure
A representation of the Dark Energy Camera's 1 millionth exposure. At the time of this exposure DECam was making an observation of a galaxy cluster. The interface shows the exposure counter at 1 million and the observing team is seen celebrating on a Zoom call.
One of the most powerful digital cameras in the world, the Dark Energy Camera was designed specifically for the Dark Energy Survey (DES). It was funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) and was built and tested at DOE's Fermilab.
