Fresh tattoo of the Rubin Observatory building with the data stats-and-circuitry logo around it. From Ludo Krabbendam at Freedom Tattoo in Tucson, AZ. His father, Victor, directed the observatory during construction.

We’re in operations now, so time for me to follow through on that promise.

#LSST performs very well for large impactors ☄️, discovering about 79.7% of objects larger than 140 m before impact. Only 50.3% of 50–140 m impactors, 26.8% of 20–50 m impactors, and 10.5% of 10–20 m impactors are discovered 🔭 at all. About 60% of large impactors fail to reach a one-year warning […]

First Vera Rubin Observatory image reveals hidden structure as long as the Milky Way trailing behind a nearby galaxy — Space photo of the week First-light images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory have revealed a 163,000-light-year stream of stars emanating from the M61 galaxy, suggesting a violent past.

First images, revealed in June, from Vera C. Rubin Observatory contained a deep view of the Virgo cluster, the closest and best-studied cluster of galaxies.

Scialog Fellows showing off their certificates from RCSA.

Special welcome to our new Fellows as the 2nd meeting of #Scialog: Early Science with the LSST begins in Tucson! Cosponsored with @heisingsimonsfdn.bsky.social, with support from Leinweber Foundation and Kevin Wells. #RubinObservatory #LSST

2/8 Just by "perusing its first test image," #astronomers found a massive trail of light—a stellar stream—extending from the Messier 61 galaxy.

"This is the first #StellarStream detected from Rubin," said #astrophysicist Sarah #Pearson. "And it’s just a precursor."
