Our physicists are part of one of the most ambitious studies of the Universe ever undertaken.
The NSF-DOE Vera C Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) digital camera will allow our researchers to better understand our cosmic origins.
A massive international collaboration, the LSST, began taking images. It will spend 10 years capturing the entire southern sky to create an ultra-wide, ultra-high-definition time-lapse survey of our Universe.
It could solve some of the biggest mysteries of space including the nature of dark energy, and the evolution of our solar system and galaxies, including the Milky Way.
