Vera C. Rubin Observatory Begins 10-Year Legacy Survey of Space and Time
Summary
The NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile has officially begun its 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), a revolutionary astronomical survey that will capture the most comprehensive cinematic record of the Universe ever created. The observatory will image the entire southern sky every few nights, detecting moving objects, tracking cosmic changes, and generating massive datasets to study dark matter, dark energy, asteroids, and the structure of the Milky Way. This marks a new era in time-domain astronomy and astrophysics.
