Sometime in May or June, as the southern hemisphere winter sets in beneath the skies of the Chilean Atacama desert, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory<\/a> will open its dome and the largest digital camera in history will capture its first science-grade image of the cosmos. Under the Atacama\u2019s pristine and stable atmosphere, Rubin will begin a 10-year mission to provide humanity with an extraordinary new vision of the cosmos with the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST).<\/p>\n

Twenty-four years in the making, the observatory is a brand new astronomical facility.\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
