It's decade-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time will detect one-meter class objects about to impact Earth and allow more detailed observations of them. That will help determine their impact sites with greater accuracy, allowing for more recovery.
Vera C Rubin Observatory launches astronomical discovery machine
New Delhi: The Vera C Rubin observatory has started releasing alerts for astronomical events. 800,000 alerts were issued on 24 February, which is expected to scale up to seven million every night. These alerts flagged new asteroids, exploding stars and other transients in the night sky, or objects that changed their positions or luminosities.
