The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has begun its 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time, using the >world's largest digital camera to image the entire southern sky every week (at night). The project is expected to catalog billions of stars and galaxies, track changing and transient objects, and generate an enormous dataset for studying dark matter, galaxy formation, asteroids, and unexpected cosmic phenomena.https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/science/rubin-telescope.html"This is the end of a 33-year wait," said Phil Marshall, the deputy director of the telescope's operations at SLACK National Accelerator Laboratory in California, in a statement to The New York Times. "It's a major milestone for us." Astronomers expect this collection of data, known as the Legacy Survey of Space and Time, to revolutionize their knowledge of our galaxy's birth, the invisible matter permeating the cosmos, what shaped the universe into the structure it has today and more. According to Dr. Marshall, the survey is designed to see everything, "even the things we don't know we're looking for yet," he said.
