## Caption

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.
