The new telescope's superpower is its wide view.

"[The Vera C. Rubin Observatory] can image 9.6 square degrees at a time—about 45 full moons’ worth of sky.
[...]
Every night, the telescope will take a thousand images, one every 34 seconds. After three or four nights, it’ll have the entire southern sky covered, and then it’ll start all over again."
