👋 Time for a reintroduction!
NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is nearing the end of construction on Cerro Pachón in Chile, getting ready for its quest to #CaptureTheCosmos with first light expected later this year. It’s named after astronomer Vera Rubin, who provided the first convincing evidence for the existence of dark matter.
Rubin will generate an ultra-high-resolution, ultra-high-definition time-lapse of our Universe — the decade-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST).
