The Dark Energy Camera was built at Fermilab and installed atop the 4-meter Blanco Telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory CTIO in Chile. The camera - inside the long black cylinder at the end of the telescope - is mainly used by the Dark Energy Survey, which is currently in its fifth year of observing at CTIO. In this image the camera is pointed at a section of the sky between the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. This is a single 30-second exposure; the foreground is lit with moonlight.

The Advanced Detector Facility Group in the Particle Physics Division Detector Development and Operations Department is making plastic scintillator for the Pierre Auger KIT project in the FNAL-NICADD Extrusion Line Facility.
Top left photo is of Jerry Zimmerman runs the extruder, while on the right of photo Ebin Joseph is doing quality control tests, measuring the light yield and the whole size of the parts being produced. Every 10 pieces, the light yield is tested with a radioactive source in the black box, and the result added to a spreadsheet.
Bottom photos are of Wanda Newby, far left, Irina Pischalnikova, middle, and Sabina Aponte, who work together to examine the quality of these scintillator bars as they come out of the extrusion line. Sabina Aponte will feed a fiber through the scintillator bars to make sure the holes are wide open.
