US EditionSee the First Breathtaking Images Captured by the Powerful New Telescope at the Rubin Observatory
- The Rubin Observatory's new telescope features an 8.4m primary mirror that took seven years to shape and can capture images every 30 seconds, using machine-learning algorithms to optimize observations, as stated by the University of Arizona scientists.
- Astronomers have identified over 2000 new asteroids, including seven near-Earth asteroids, during ten hours of observations by the Rubin team, demonstrating the telescope's capability to find many more objects in the solar system.
- The LSST aims to conduct a detailed census of millions of unknown objects, tripling the number of known potentially hazardous asteroids larger than 140m, supporting understanding of dark matter and energy.
- The telescope will store data on over 17 billion stars and 20 billion galaxies, with observations starting in October, as described by the scientists at the observatory.
