   I can remember when reviews of digital cameras (including phone cameras)   
   would decry the emphasis on more and more megapixels, saying there were   
   other factors that went into the quality of the image, too.   
      
   Well, astronomers might beg to disagree. They have just commissioned the   
   world’s highest-resolution digital camera, at 3.2 gigapixels, as part of   
   the Vera C Rubin telescope in the Atacama Desert in Chile.   
      
   Who was Vera Rubin? She collected data on the peculiar movements of stars   
   in the outermost parts of galaxies that led to the inescapable conclusion   
   that 90% of the Universe is made of “dark matter” -- matter we cannot see   
   directly, but whose gravitational influence can be seen in those stars.
