This artist's illustration represents the alerts that the VRO generates. Each alert represents something changing in the night sky, from supernova explosions, to active galactic nuclei, to asteroids, to variable stars. Image Credit: NSF–DOE Vera C.

We’ve been waiting a long time for the Vera Rubin Observatory to begin its work. The observatory features the largest digital camera ever built. It’ll create a time-lapse of the southern night sky for ten years with its 3.2 gigapixel camera. An untold number of discoveries awaits.
