The University of Washington was one of the founding partners in the effort to build the #RubinObservatory - and now that Rubin's first pictures of the cosmos have been released, UW astronomers are taking a victory lap and looking forward to the discoveries to come. https://www.geekwire.com/2025/university-of-washington-rubin-observatory/ #Space #LSST

Software predicts a bonanza of solar system discoveries
A new type of computer simulation predicts that the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile will discover millions of previously undetected objects in the solar system over the course of the coming decade.
The discovery campaign, which is due to begin in earnest later this year, should expand th

The @VRubinObs 220-ton mount takes 5 seconds to move to its next position.
Rubin will do near-real-time processing of new images every night and release world-public alerts within 60 seconds for objects that have moved or changed. Every night, Rubin Observatory will produce 20 terabytes of data

Astronomers process test images at Rubin Observatory
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile has begun generating test images of the night sky, thanks to the Simonyi Survey Telescope and its giant camera as well as a data management team that includes scientists from the University of Washington.
Team members started taking on-sky engineering data w

Scientists prepare for the most ambitious sky survey yet, anticipating new insight on dark matter and dark energy

"If we know how certain we can be in our analysis, it enables us to compare our results with other experiments to understand the current state of knowledge across all of cosmology [...] With the data from the LSST, things are about to get much more interesting."
Rubin Observatory’s monster telescope takes shape
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s 8.4-meter Simonyi Survey Telescope in Chile has now been equipped with all three of its mirrors, plus a camera for good measure.
Last week’s installation of the telescope’s combined primary/tertiary mirror represented a major milestone in the obs

The @VRubinObs has very recently updated its assessment of the known (and unknown) threats posed by large #satellite constellations on #LSST. The facility and survey remain "uniquely vulnerable to large numbers of bright satellites".
https://www.lsst.org/content/lsst-statement-regarding-increased-deployment-satellite-constellations
Željko Ivezić (@VRubinObs) on the expected impacts of satellites on the #LSST: "How bad will this be for Rubin? It's a nuisance rather than a catastrophe". Loss of ~1% of the time = $15M cost. But if there are 100,000 sats, it could be 10% or more. #IAUGA2024 #Astronomy2024
Up Close With the Completed 3.2-Gigapixel #LSST #Camera
Engineers at the #SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have completed work on the Legacy Survey of #Space and Time camera. The device is the world's largest digital camera and will be the centerpiece of a 10-year mission to map the night sky from the Vera C. Rubin #Observatory in #Chile.
One step closer to science-ready
Simulated Solar System objects are now part of Rubin's Data Preview 0 That's great news for Solar System scientists preparing to use #LSST—they can now test their analysis tools using the Rubin Science Platform (data.lsst.cloud)!
