The National Science Foundation has shared the first images captured by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, capturing 10 million galaxies in 10 hours of photography.
The National Science Foundation just shared the first images captured by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, a sample of the footage it’ll capture as part of a planned decade-long survey that’s starting later in 2025. The project, dubbed the « Legacy Survey of Time and Space » is predicted to lead to the discovery of « millions of new asteroids within the first two years » the survey is running.
In just a 10 hour period, the National Science Foundation says that the Rubin Observatory « discovered 2,104 never-before-seen asteroids in our solar system, including seven near-Earth asteroids.
