Canon's 8-inch CMOS sensor can record SPACE at 60fps, sits in a telescope in Tokyo

Last year Canon showed to the world its largest CMOS sensor, but for whatever reason, Canon seemed more concerned with showing off its engineering prowess than finding a use for the giant 8-inch CMOS sensor. Fortunately, the super-powerful snapper has found its way into the 105-centimeter Schmidt Telescope at the University of Tokyo's Kiso Observatory. The sensor's size makes it a perfect fit to record in low-light; capturing the wonders of the universe in 0.3 lux at 60 fps.
