"We are entering a new era of cosmic exploration. The new Vera C Rubin
Observatory in Chile will transform astronomy with its extraordinary ability to
map the universe in breathtaking detail. It is set to reveal secrets previously
beyond our grasp. Here, we delve into the first images taken by Rubin’s
telescope and what they are already showing us.

These images vividly showcase the unprecedented power that Rubin will use to
revolutionise astronomy and our understanding of the Universe. Rubin is truly
transformative, thanks to its unique combination of sensitivity, vast sky area
coverage and exceptional image quality.

These pictures powerfully demonstrate those attributes. They reveal not only
bright objects in exquisite detail but also faint structures, both near and
far, across a large area of sky."

Share and enjoy,
