RPhil - Unveiling the Solar System in the Rubin Observatory Era
21st October 2026 7:30 pm
| High in the Chilean Andes is the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, a next-generation facility named after Vera Rubin, a pioneering astronomer whose work provided key evidence for dark matter. Rubin Observatory houses the world’s largest digital camera (3.2-gigapixel) capable of covering ~45 times the size of the full Moon in a single image. With the ability to scan the visible night sky approximately once every three nights, this international facility is going to make the largest “movie” of the changing night sky. |
