In a year it'll all be on one.

Here come the 1TB module. https://www.techradar.com/pro/massive-1tb-ram-coming-soon-as-samsung-debuts-largest-memory-module-ever-but-it-wont-be-cheap

Try not to imagine slipping as you slot the final one in, snapping the pins on a whole bank.

Nah, just put a block of wood down over top and hit it with a rubber mallet. Razor blades and hate.
Nacon
Hate to be that guy... but that's outdated now. There are servers with 6TB of ram now, and there are some specialized-built motherboards that could hold up to 24TB.

I mean they might have a real reason.

It's a server. There's four proccessors as well and with a terabyte of memory you'd be able to create a lot of virtual machines off of just one remote server.

Image acquisition & processing is a good reason. Light sheet microscopes routinely produce 10s of TB datasets. I don't doubt that astronomy produces similar volumes. The main processing tasks are generally carried out on GPUs, but files of that size need to be chunked and fed to the GPU in parts (or offloaded from the camera similarly) and big RAM pools can help alleviate that bottleneck.

My best guess is it's a server for AWS or Azure or some such, running multiple virtual instances simultaneously.

Looks like money.

Probably can be picked up for less than 1000 these days. It’s most likely around 1.5TB of DDR3 (48x32GB)
WorksOnMyMachine
Imagine if you filled all 48 slots with 256gb sticks. 12 Tb of RAM for the low-low cost of... Probably somewhere between 100k-300k depending on brand, speed, and timing

That's if you're looking at brand new hardware. If you're okay with something 3+ years old, then you could likely get it for $10k or so.
