With these general pictures, scientists can study many different things using the same data. One scientist could use the images to study stationary galaxies. Another could use the same images to look for objects that change or move in the sky, like supernovae or asteroids. 2 comments
Over the course of its 10-year survey, Rubin will take more than five million pictures of the entire visible night sky in more detail than has been possible before, enabling new discoveries about the Universe. #CatchTheUniverse Learn more at https://rubinobservatory.org/slideshows/whats-a-survey-telescope |

Rubin is a special survey telescope! It’s designed to:
✨Quickly take huge pictures of the entire sky from Chile
✨…in high-res
✨…every few nights for 10 years
✨...while also being able to detect very faint objects
No other telescope can do all of those things at once!
