Rubin Observatory is a new astronomical facility nearing completion in Chile. Over ten years, it will use a 3200-megapixel, car-sized digital camera to repeatedly image the sky every few nights🌌

Song lyrics reading "And so we scan the night sky In pursuit of data and discovery Our muses, acquired in quick succession Twice a minute, for ten years The snap, snap, snap, of the camera shutter Recording the cosmos in a blink All’s fair in astronomy and astrophysics Sincerely, The Cosmic Mysteries Department"
