See stunning first images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory

Rubin’s first glimpse of the firmament is predictably bursting with galaxies and stars. But the resolution, breadth, and depth of the images have taken astronomers aback. “I’m very impressed with these images. They’re really incredible,” says Christopher Conselice, an extragalactic astronomer at the University of Manchester in England. One shot, created from 678 individual exposures, showcases…

Vera C. Rubin Observatory

An astronomical observatory under construction on top of Cerro Pachón, a mountain in Northern Chile. Rubin Observatory will conduct a 10-year survey of the Southern Hemisphere sky with the goal of answering some of astronomers' biggest questions about the Universe.

Images will be recorded by a 3.2-gigapixel CCD imaging camera, the largest digital camera ever constructed. First light is expected on January 2025.

This is what I’ve been working on for almost 10 years! And what inspired my custom Lego designs! It’s so cool (and also kinda weird) to finally have it at the observatory!

First images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

With its 3.2 billion-pixel camera, the Rubin Observatory captures extremely detailed photographs including this small piece of a much larger image of the Virgo Cluster, a group of galaxies some 55 million light-years away.

Another snippet of Rubin’s photograph of the Virgo Cluster includes the spiral galaxies NGC 4411 and NGC 4411b. Above are a trio of interacting galaxies “Every time you zoom in, you find a new interesting detail,” said Clare Higgs, an outreach specialist working for Rubin.

My Lego model of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory is complete! It has a spinning dome (and some fun little accessories) and I am very proud. You can check out @rubin_observatory on Instagram if you want to see photos of the real thing.

I designed this during my last couple trips to the observatory. I planned to take more progress shots but I had absolutely zero chill about assembling it once I had all the pieces. This thing is almost 2 pounds of solid brick and amazingly sturdy.

Rubin Observatory Captures Nebulae in Stunning First Images

Introduction: Cosmic Beauty From Chilean Skies High in the Chilean Andes, the newly operational Vera C. Rubin Observatory has released its first public images, capturing vivid views of two distant nebulae—the Lagoon and Trifid. Situated on Cerro Pachón at over 2,600 meters above sea level, the observatory’s powerful instruments offer a stunning glimpse into the next era of sky observation. The…

Space, the final frontier 🪐

Rubin Observatory's capabilities to spot interesting phenomena will also enable it to be a “discovery machine” that can identify interesting areas of focus for other telescopes.

Solving cosmic mysteries!

The first images from the new Vera C. Rubin Observatory are amazing!

And the videos showing how much detail is actually in the images are incredible!

[colitcomedia]

The Rubin Observatory has released its first images, marking a major milestone in modern astronomy. The observatory, located in the Chilean Andes, began operations with a spectacular glimpse into space. The debut images include star-forming nebulas and distant galaxy clusters, offering a preview of what this decade-long project will uncover.

Hunting for Planet 9

Astronomers have tantalizing new clues in the hunt for the elusive (hypothetical) “Planet Nine”! By sifting through old data from the 80s and 2000s, they found a potential object that moves very slowly, far, far beyond Neptune and Pluto. We’re talking a celestial body so massive its gravitational pull is rearranging the orbits of its tiny, icy neighbors, the extreme trans-Neptunian objects…

Vera C. Rubin Observatory detects its first asteroid

The detection of asteroids is an essential aspect of planetary defense and understanding the potential risks they pose to Earth. Astronomers use various methods to detect and track asteroids. Astronomers use telescopes on Earth to scan the night sky for moving objects. These telescopes capture images of celestial bodies, and by comparing multiple images taken over time, they can identify…
