In a moment long-awaited by
#astronomers, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in the Chilean Andes has today published its first images and time-lapse videos. A combination of a unique
#telescope and the largest digital camera ever built for
#astronomy, Rubin will begin a 10-year mission later this year, during which it's expected to discover 10 million
#supernovas, 20 billion
#galaxies, and millions of
#asteroids and
#comets.
