The New Sky

WIDE	A large aperture, wide field survey telescope and 3200 Megapixel camera to image faint astronomical objects across the sky.
FAST	LSST will rapidly scan the sky, charting objects that change or move: from exploding supernovae to potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroids.
DEEP	LSST's images will trace billions of remote galaxies, providing multiple probes of the mysterious dark matter and dark energy.
