Jumbo camera taking world's largest photo

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

IRVINE, Calif. - Walk into the massive air hangar and the first thing you notice is an oppressive darkness broken only by a tiny beam of light from a gumball-sized hole in the wall.

Then, slowly, an upside-down image emerges on the opposite wall that is startling in its clarity — a dilapidated air traffic control tower, an overgrown runway and palm trees clustered amid rolling hills.

Once home to roaring fighter jets, this decommissioned Marine Corps hangar is now the world's largest camera poised to take the world's largest picture.

Sure, the world's largest camera is cool. But, a picture made only to be visible from space - that's kickin.'
