Here is the Rubin Observatory Auxilliary Telescope, it has a 1.2m primary mirror and is equipped with a spectrograph readout by a CCD camera. It monitors how the atmosphere transmits visible and near infrared light. We see the mirror cover opening.
Help Rubin get to the stage at #SXSW2025!🤩 Rubin Observatory is nearly complete, and what better way to celebrate than with an U.S. National Science Foundation & @DOEscience panel at #SXSW in March 2025! Public voting is open now - cast your vote in the PanelPicker® at ls.st/sxsw2025 by Aug 18!
Your vote counts! Help us bring Rubin Observatory to @SXSW 2025. Vote TODAY for our panel: "Revealing the universe's secrets with the biggest movie ever made." bit.ly/3LVAXvg #SXSW2025
Rubin Observatory doesn't look like other observatories, & its telescope doesn't move like others—it's way faster! But why? To answer cosmic questions we haven't been able to answer, we had to build an observatory unlike any other. Learn more via U.S. National Science Foundation ➡️ new.nsf.gov/science-matter…
The U.S. National Science Foundation-DOE Rubin Observatory will revolutionize the understanding of the cosmos. By capturing a high-precision chronicle of the universe, new insights into dark matter and dark energy will be uncovered.
Reminder! You still have five days to cast your vote for sessions for #SXSW2025! Might we suggest a vote for the U.S. National Science Foundation - DOE Office of Science Rubin panel? 🤩 Voting is open until August 18! 🔗: ls.st/sxsw2025
Everything we can see - or even measure with instruments - makes up only 5% of the universe. The rest is a mystery. Using a camera built SLAC to take massive images of the night sky, the U.S. National Science Foundation-DOE Rubin Observatory will vastly expand our knowledge: new.nsf.gov/science-matter…
📹 SLAC's Sydney Erickson is working to better understand dark energy, an unknown form of energy that causes the universe to expand at an accelerating rate. Rubin Observatory Read more: stanford.io/3CTulcw #SLACExplains #capturethecosmos #Astronomy #DarkMatter #DarkEnergy
