These are first deep-space images from the Vera Rubin Observatory Perched high in the foothills of Chile’s Andes mountains, a revolutionary new space telescope has just taken its first pictures of the cosmos—and they’re spectacular. Astronomers are excited about the first test images released today from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory , which show the universe in unprecedented detail, from violent cosmic collisions to faraway nebulas. “It's really a great instrument. Its depth and large field of view will allow us to take really nice images of stars, especially faint ones,” says Christian Aganze, a galactic archeologist at Stanford University who will use the observatory’s data to study the formation and evolution of the Milky Way. “We are truly entering a new era.” The observatory has a few key components: A giant telescope, called the Simonyi Survey Telescope, is connected to the world's largest and highest resolution digital camera. Rubin’s 27-foot primary mirror, paired with a mind-boggling 3,200-megapixel camera, will repeatedly take 30-second exposure images of vast swaths of the sky with unrivaled speed and detail. Each image will cover an area of sky as big as 40 full moons .
