Cosmic movie kicks off: Rubin Observatory's LSST unveils decade-long sky survey
TL;DR Summary
Rubin Observatory launches its ten-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time, using a 3.2 gigapixel camera to scan the southern sky repeatedly (about 800 visits per field) to create an ultra‑high‑definition, time‑resolved map that will probe dark energy and dark matter, track transient events, and reveal millions of solar-system objects; early months already yielded around 11,000 newly discovered asteroids.
