Vera C. Rubin Observatory Launches LSST Survey

A 10-year mission to map the southern hemisphere's sky.

Event Overview

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile has launched the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), a decade-long project funded by the US National Science Foundation and Department of Energy. Using the world's largest digital camera with 3,200 megapixels and the 8.4-meter Simonyi Survey Telescope, the facility will create a time-lapse view of the southern sky. The mission aims to study dark matter, dark energy, and the solar system, having already discovered 11,000 asteroids during early operations.
