World's Largest Digital Camera Installed in Chile
The world's largest digital camera is now operational at an observatory in Chile. This impressive
device, known as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) camera, was funded by U.S. government
agencies. It was recently installed in the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, located in the South American
country. Scientists will now begin a testing phase before starting full-scale observations. Over the next
decade. astronomers will use this advanced camera to study the southern hemisphere's skies in remarkable
detail. The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science called this achievement "a triumph of science
and engineering" and expressed excitement about the breathtaking images the camera will capture.
The LSST camera is an engineering marvel. It is the size of a small car and weighs 2,721 kg. One of
its most outstanding features is its 3-billion-pixel sensor. In comparison, the highest-quality smartphone
cameras today have only about 200 million pixels. The LSST camera will repeatedly scan the night sky.
capturing highly detailed time-lapse images. Lead researcher Aaron Roodman explained, "We like to say
that we're making a color movie of the entire Southern Hemisphere sky." These images will help
scientists understand how galaxies formed and evolved over time.
Another key objective is studying dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up a large
part of the universe. The camera will also create the most detailed map of the Milky Way galaxy ever
produced. The data collected will help answer fundamental questions about space, the universe's structure, and its origins.
With its groundbreaking technology, the LSST camera will revolutionize astronomy, allowing
scientists to explore the cosmos in ways never before possible.

Read the following passage about and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
best answer to each of the following questions.
Global Warming Will Delay Next Ice Age, Say Scientists
Scientists believe they can predict when the next ice age will occur. According to Wikipedia, "An ice
age is a long period of reduction in the temperature of Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in the
presence or expansion of continental and polar ice sheets, and alpine glaciers." [I] Researchers from
Cardiff University in the UK estimate that the next ice age should arrive in about 10.000 years. [II] A
member of the research team explained that climate change might make it "very unlikely" for the next
freeze to arrive on time. [III] This means that rising global temperatures could prevent the Earth from
entering a new ice age as expected. [IV]
One major factor contributing to this delay is the melting of glaciers in the North and South Poles.
Lead researcher Professor Stephen Barker and his team examined nearly one million years of climate
data to understand the causes of past ice ages. Their research revealed a link between shifts in the Earth's
axis, global temperatures, and the size of ice sheets in Antarctica and the Arctic. When the amount of ice
in these regions remained stable, ice ages occurred at regular intervals. However, as global temperatures
rise and ice continues to melt, the gaps between ice ages are expected to become much longer.
Professor Barker emphasized that Earth's climate is a highly complex system in which multiple
factors interact. He explained, "Earth's climate is an interconnected system of complex processes, all 5

acting together to produce the changes we observe." The study highlights the impact of human activities
on the planet's long-term climate patterns. Scientis
ts warn that ongoing global warming may not only
delay the next ice age but also cause unpredictable environmental consequences.
Understanding these patterns is crucial for predicting future climate changes. Scientists hope
that by studying past ice ages, they can better prepare for the challenges that lie ahead.
