Have you seen the Rubin Observatory's first images?

Rubin has the largest digital camera in the world, and it's ready to revolutionize astronomy! Over the next decade, it will discover 2000x MORE galaxies than the 10 million shown below.

Let's explore how its images compare to other telescopes πŸ”­
0.05% of the 10 billion galaxies Rubin will discover in the next decade. Every corner of the sky holds a star or galaxy, some of which were simply too far away, too dim, to be seen before now. Rubin bridges the vastness.
