Vera C. Rubin Observatory is the first two decades imaginable in a “rear napkin” sketch. The construction of the huge telescope is nearing completion, Rubin scientists announced the first images of a live event in Washington on Monday, June 23.
Chilean Andes was thrown into a mountain in Rubin Observatory has the largest digital camera ever since. The US National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Energy Department (DOE) will be held in the recent car-sized, 3.2-gigapycyclic chamber, only 10 hours of testing observations. In this short term, Rubin observed the stars in millions of galaxies and milk, but also not seen before 2,104 NSF release. Rubin scientists called some of these images on Monday night, but they were only the tip of the iceberg.
During today’s event, Rubin scientists used a digital stick driver using a program called SkyViewer To grow deep into the images of the observatory and reveal the best in surprising clarity. This platform is free to all that both researchers and non-specialist exploration of cosmos as before. Ultra highly praised images Demonstrate the ability to seize the invisible galaxies, colorful defame and billions of stars.
“We hope you see these images beautiful. They are really different from what you are used to see, really significantly different,” he said. The gaps between objects in most astronomical images are complex black gaps. “But it’s not what you see here. The thing you see was in a complex black space was actually full,” Ritz said.
“This is full of galaxies – it is full of all kinds of interesting things. That we can bring them all due to combining Ruby’s unique opportunities.”
The wave of the observatory’s first discoveries includes Supernovae and distant galaxies that can help astronomer learn the expansion of the universe. Observing these objects, Rubin can also help solve Hubble voltage – The discrepancy between different measurements of the current expansion rate of the universe is known to the hubble permanently.
Rubin also discovered seven new land asteroids. It does not pose any threat to our planet, but to find out how the observatory can determine how unknown asteroids and astronomers help the earth potential threats. In general, all other places and space-based observations are discovered about 20,000 new asteroids, but Rubin scientists evaluate these unified observatory space and time (LST) will discover millions during the first two years.
This ten-year length of the night sky will produce the study of the universe, UltraWide, Ultra high-precision time break record. The information should help scientists open the real nature of dark matter and dark energy, explore the solar system catalog, changing the sky and understand the structure and activity of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Rubin, 27.6 meters (8.4 meters) Simonyi survey will monitor the space in an automated table using the telescope contains the largest convex mirror ever made. Each 30-second exposure will cover an area of about 45 times in the size of the full month. Then, the large LST camera will take a wide area images and paste them together to create a complete view of the southern sky every three nights.
Special computer devices will process information in real time. These opportunities reveal any changes in the night sky, will give global warnings in a few minutes that allow other telescopes to be pivot. The consequences of the observatory will then increase the amount of information available for scientists, a mass archive will be developed.
Researchers headed by Astronomer Meg Schwamma in Belfast of Queen This is recently evaluated This Rubin can double the number of about 38,000 to 127,000, which can only discover the number 10 times more trans-neptunian facilities and provide colorful, detailed observations of the main-1.4 million.
Thus, the wealth of the information produced in this first test is the only beginning. Already in the observatory, a database of “very complex” has been compiled, but astronomer on the Clare Higgs-Rubin Education and Social Broadcasting team work hard to be accessible to everyone. In addition to exploring Ruby’s pictures through SkyViewer, people will finally be able to practice Sound Sky research data. The experience of the appointment of voice representations in information and processes, information and processes offers a strong alternative to visual footage according to the website of the observatory.
Higgs also excites Rubin data to the classroom. There will be an educational program of the observatory supply For students of all ages, online astronomy studies based on the real RUBIN data designed for college students from secondary schoolers.
“It’s one of what I’m really excited,” he said.
