| Jan 4, 2021 at 16:00 | comment | added | uhoh | Great question! At 3.2 Gigapixels The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is certainly one of the largest and most massive set of pixels being built, but I don't know if it is the absolute largest. For further reading see the links in Why was the Vera C. Rubin Observatory LSST Camera tested with a broccoli and a pinhole? While not as large, the Hyper Suprime-Cam is fun to read about as well. | |

| Jan 4, 2021 at 15:42 | comment | added | peterh | I edited the post, I am not sure if I used the correct terminology because also I am not very familiar with the topic - but I hope, so is it already clear. | |

It is monochrome - multicolor images are created by filters. Afaik Hubble has multiple CCD and maybe mirrors select the currently active one. | |

| Jan 4, 2021 at 14:29 | comment | added | peterh | If I understand it well, the question is the size of the imaging electronics in the telescopes (ccd cam?), and also their resolution. Probably he wants to know the current record holder (which is probably Hubble). | |
