The European Astronomical Society (EAS) is running a special session on Rubin at its Annual Meeting in June 2025. The EAS is welcoming abstract submissions from all scientists, whether familiar with @vrubinobs or new faces. Read more: eas.unige.ch/EAS2025/sessio… #astronomy

I don't know if this funding proposal I'm writing is going to be successful, but I do love the title: " Into the Unknown: Exploring the Solar System Revealed by the Legacy Survey of Space and Time"

One of the science goals of NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory is to better understand the nature of dark matter and dark energy. This will help us understand more about how the Universe formed and evolved. Find out more rubinobservatory.org/explore/scienc…

It's been a while since we posted a picture of the mighty LSST camera at NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory so here goes... This was taken last month, when it was moved from the summit clean room and attached to the camera rotator for the first time. Credit: RubinObs/NOIRLab/SLAC/DOE/NSF/AURA

Like the NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory @vrubinobs, the LSST Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) Science Collaboration is gearing up for the start of operations. In July they are holding a 'Supermassive Black Hole Studies in the Legacy Survey of Space and Time' workshop. agn.science.lsst.org/meeting2025

Lights, camera, action! 🎬 The world's largest digital camera has been installed at NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory! 🤩 The LSST Camera was the final major component of the observatory. With it in place, Rubin officially enters its final phase of testing! 🔗: rubinobservatory.org/news/lsst-came…

We're excited to see that Cheltenham Festivals Science Fest is running an event on NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory on 7 June. Come and listen to chrislintott, Hiranya Peiris and Andrew Pontzen talk about how Rubin is helping to #capturethecosmos cheltenhamfestivals.org/events/the-ver…

On this day, ten years ago... ...we formally kicked off construction of NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory with a ceremonial First Stone event! Thanks to over a decade of hard work by thousands of people, Rubin is just months away from unveiling first images to the world!

If you're new to all things NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory.bsky.social, check out the new media kit, full of fascinating facts. E.g. the images Rubin will produce are so large that it would take 400 ultra-high-definition televisions to display one of them at full size. rubinobservatory.org/media

Rubin #CommissioningNotes ✍️: On-sky engineering tests continued this week! The team started tuning image quality control systems in real survey-like conditions. LSST Camera is performing smoothly and has captured over 5,000 sky exposures so far (that’s 15 trillion pixels!) 🧵

Thinking about how far NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory has come 😌 💭 As First Look approaches on June 23, 2025 we’re looking back at the hard work and progress that have gone into this project. Exciting times ahead for Rubin! 📸 RubinObs/NOIRLab/SLAC/NSF/DOE/AURA

A quarter for your thoughts? 🪙 United States Mint We think Vera C. Rubin is a great choice to be honored with a quarter... and with an observatory! Rubin was an accomplished astronomer who provided the first convincing evidence of dark matter, influencing a new subfield of astrophysics.

The mountains are calling ⛰️ @nsf-DOE Office of Science Rubin Observatory sits at 2647 m (8684 ft) on Cerro Pachón in Chile. Northern Chile offers some of the clearest, driest and darkest skies in the world — ideal for studying the night sky! 🌌 🔗: rubinobservatory.org/about/rubin-in…

.NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory has today released its long-awaited first images of the night sky. Scientists from Durham Physics are playing a leading role in the Rubin Observatory’s 10-year space survey. Learn more: brnw.ch/21wTCfi U.S. National Science Foundation @DOEScience Rubin-LSST:UK
