Scientists capture the universe in motion
After years of preparation, U.K. astronomers are celebrating a major milestone as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory reveals its first dazzling images of the night sky. This marks the beginning of the most ambitious space survey ever attempted, known as the Legacy Survey of Space and Time, or LSST—a decade-long project that will capture a […] The post Scientists capture the universe in motion appeared first on Knowridge Science Report.
A few days ago the first images of the cosmos obtained with the largest digital camera in the world were made public, the telescope installed in the new observatory Vera Rubin, built at the summit of Cerro Pachón, in the Atacama desert, north of Chile. In the first images captured by the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) of Rubin, asteroids were observed that had not yet been seen. In the near future the depth of the field that captures its…
The picture shows 2 star nebula that are thousands of light-years away from Earth.
The first images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile have provided a glimpse of millions of distant galaxies and revealed previously unknown asteroids. Astronomers are hoping the largest ground-based telescope to date will open up entirely new possibilities for space exploration.
