Thousands of galaxies of all shapes, with 2 bluish spirals the largest.

Yesterday, we got our 1st look at the images from the #VeraCRubinObservatory! It shared a shot of 10 million galaxies in 1 enormous view, which would have to be displayed across 400 ultra HD screens for our eyes to take in all the detail #Rubin captured:

Hands-On at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and Its First Enormous 5 Gigapixel Image Last year, PetaPixel visited the SLAC Laboratories in Stanford to go hands-on with the LSST camera module, the highest-resolution and largest camera ever constructed. Last month, the team took the long journey to the summit of Cerro Pachón in Chile to go hands-on with the finished Vera C. Rubin Observatory and see its first 5 gigapixel photo. [Read More]

The World’s Largest Camera’s First Photo: 5 Gigapixels Showing 10 Million Galaxies The complete impact Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) camera's mind-blowing first photos is now much easier to appreciate thanks to new videos featuring the pair of historic images. The world's largest camera is truly spectacular. [Read More]

Is there anybody out there? The Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile is trying to answer the perennial question of if we're alone in the universe using the world's largest digital camera to scan the southern sky every three to four nights for at least a decade. "In the first month of the survey […]

Rubin? LSSTCam? Simonyi?

🤔 O que cada uma dessas palavras significa para a astronomia?

Neste post, vamos te contar um pouco sobre essas nomenclaturas e como elas vão mudar o nosso entendimento do Universo!

How do we know if a #star is about to go #supernova? Some stars do nothing, while others slowly brighten or flicker. The #VeraCRubinObservatory will search for supernova precursors. 💥🌌
