That's one giant shutter
ok but if it took a picture of me would it vaporize me into a million pieces and create a smaller version of me inside a small tv screen microwave thing?
asking for a friend.
….but does it have night mode?
Willy Wonker had a bigger camera than that.
But can it see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch?
What's this tiny lense going to go that James web can't. Also it has to see though out atmosphere.
Why are some of the pieces of the sensor darker than others?
Way more interesting and tangible that James Webb. YES, do more of these. Quit sending junk into space. Do it here and solve the problems here.
In 10 years this will be used as cheap webcam
168 mil? Who can I talk to about info about buying one of these bad boys?
Are they for the private sector or is just commercialized/militarized?

I wonder does it shot JPEG or RAW? 😂😂😂😂 let me add this to my wish list lol
the fact that in some years they will make it portable
Almost costs as much as a leica
Dudes got a stutter
The way the optics look on that camera there is a much higher likelihood that it will be mapping whatever the CIA says its mapping.
I'm excited it's not a space telescope for some reason I assumed it was going to be launched eventually and we always have to wait so long for the results of telescopes so far away.
Wow sounds awesome
The group of scientists should take their selfie for another world records!
