NGC 6946 and NGC 6939
Over 68 hours of Earth-based #telescope imaging reveals spiral #galaxy NGC 6946 and star cluster NGC 6939 in Cepheus. Spanning 1 degree, NGC 6939 lies 5,600 light-years away, while NGC 6946 is 22 million light-years distant and known for frequent supernovae, earning it the name The Fireworks Galaxy.

Thanks to the remarkable capabilities of the James Webb #Space #Telescope (JWST), we now have an unprecedented view of a #star in the process of formation.
→ The object in focus is HH 30, a #protostar situated in the Taurus #Molecular Cloud, approximately 450 light-years from Earth.

Based on the current understanding of the #SolarSystem and the @VRubinObs #telescope’s planned observing schedule, an international team of #astronomers predicts that #Rubin’s bounty will include 89,000 
new near-Earth #asteroids 
, 3.7 million new main-belt asteroids, 1,200 new Centaurs and 32,000 new objects beyond #Neptune https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/science/rubin-telescope-asteroids.html
Dünyanın en büyük kamerası uzayın filmini çekmeye başladı!
Şili’de 20 yıllık geliştirimin ardından Vera C. Rubin Gözlemevi’ne monte edilen 3200 megapiksellik LSST Kamerası, 23 Haziran 2025’te ilk görüntüsünü yayınladı.
Simonyi Survey Telescope’un üç aynalı tasarımı ve teleskobun dakikalar yerine saniyeler içinde yön değiştirebilmesi, 10 milyon galaksiyi tek karede yakalamasını sağlıyor.

It's a revolution.
Its as big a leap as when women began astronomy by measuring and classifying light.
One example, if there is a planet X, a topic of some controversy now, it won't take Vera a year to detetmine yes or no. Among the many other things its doing.
A Niagara Falls of data.
'A powerful new telescope in Chile has released its first images, showing off its unprecedented ability to peer into the dark depths of the universe. In one picture, vast colourful gas and dust clouds swirl in a star-forming region 9,000 light years from Earth. The Vera C Rubin observatory, home to the world's most powerful digital camera, promises to transform our understanding of the universe.'
Deep #space is sparkly!
These are first deep-space images from the Vera Rubin Observatory https://www.yahoo.com/news/first-deep-space-images-vera-040000298.html
