Just wow !! Saturn and th Moon playing hide and seek !

We have a telescope!🤩 Last week, summit staff successfully installed Rubin Observatory's combined primary/tertiary mirror. With all three mirrors & the commissioning camera in place, we officially—for the first time in 15 years of construction—have a complete telescope!🥳 🧵

Be sure to look west after the sunset through this week to get a chance to see the brightest comet in a decade (for the northern hemisphere) !

Just Wow !!

I wrote a short note on why Athena X-ray observatory and it's amazing X-IFU instrument will be revolutionary for supernova science ✨ But also for the way we view and analyze our spectro-imaging data ! More below 👇
