Two decades after RCSA’s catalytic investment in the project, we are thrilled to see Rubin Observatory’s first images! Looking forward to igniting further discovery at #Scialog: Early Science with the LSST.
Here it is: the first set of riches from Rubin's Cosmic Treasure Chest!. Introducing @NSF–@doescience Rubin Observatory's first wide, deep view: the southern region of the Virgo Cluster. Rubin made this image in just 10.5 hours over parts of 7 nights!.
