Asteroids, supernovae, and black holes...oh my! ☄️🌀 In a single image, Rubin will detect thousands of changes in the sky — from objects in our Solar System to exploding or pulsing stars and actively feeding supermassive black holes, as well as surprises we can't predict yet! 💥 🔭🧪

Studying billions of objects at once is so fetch! ...okay, we'll stop trying to make fetch happen. The NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory will image billions of stars and galaxies across the entire Southern sky, night after night, because it's what's called a “survey telescope”—but what does that mean? 🔭🧪
