Vera C. Rubin Observatory

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a state-of-the-art astronomical facility in Chile designed to survey the night sky comprehensively. Equipped with a large, powerful camera, it captures detailed images of billions of celestial objects across the entire sky, night after night. Its main goals include studying dark matter and dark energy, mapping the universe’s structure, and tracking objects like asteroids. By repeatedly observing the sky, it creates a dynamic, time-lapse view of the cosmos, enabling scientists to detect changes and uncover new phenomena, significantly advancing our understanding of the universe.
