What. A. Week. 🤩
We spent last week with hundreds of #RubinTeam members in Tucson, AZ and virtually around the world diving into NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory data and science together!
This was the first week-long workshop we've held since the first early data and images from Rubin in June. 🔭🧪
A view from the back of a conference room, with presentation slides on screen at the front of the room, and people occupying rows of seats. The person closest to the camera is turned around and smiling.
The check-in and registration tables for a conference, located in a large and open hotel atrium. The long tables are put together in a U-shaped configuration, with name badges, conference t-shirts, and other conference information on them.

Ready for a week of science and collaboration!🤓
This week, hundreds of #RubinTeam members are gathering in Tucson, AZ and virtually for the 2025 Rubin Community Workshop. #Rubin2025 🔭🧪
We're excited for 5 days of diving into data, tools, and science discoveries together! 💫
Five people in white protective suits and masks huddled together and reflected on a circular surface
A view looking into the end of Rubin's commissioning camera. A small blue circle at the center is the camera's detector, which is surrounded by electronics and a thick black ring marking the outer circumference of the camera. A tiny person looking upward and holding a handheld digital camera can be seen reflected in the blue detector
A person in a white lab coat and blue hard hat kneels on a white floor, reflected in a circular mirror. The mirror is actually a camera filter that reflects all visible wavelengths such that it looks like a mirror.
Four people in orange construction vest and hard hats smile next to a camera propped on a tripod. The camera is facing the same direction as the four people, revealing that this is in fact a reflection in one of Rubin's telescope mirrors.
It's probably a surprise to no one, but telescopes have a lot of reflective surfaces just begging for selfies! 🤳
Take a browse through some of our recent favorites from our #RubinTeam 📸

A dozen people in orange construction vests and hard hats pose in front of Rubin's telescope, with the primary mirror visible as a circular black structure on its teal cell positioned underneath the rest of the teal telescope structure.
Congratulations to the #RubinTeam on this milestone, and major thanks to our incredible summit staff for all of their hard work! 🥳
Next step: get this telescope on-sky 🌌
