megangibson+FollowThis Telescope Is Basically a Cosmic Time MachineThe Vera C. Rubin Observatory just dropped its first pics and they’re wild—but that’s just the teaser. This new telescope is about to make a 10-year time-lapse of the entire southern sky, catching everything from exploding stars to rogue asteroids. In just 10 hours of testing, it already found 2,104 new asteroids! Imagine the discoveries when it’s fully up and running. Astronomers are calling it a ‘discovery machine’—and honestly, it’s about to change everything we know about space. #SpaceNews #Astronomy #VeraRubin #Science20Share
Michael Flores+FollowThis Camera Just Found 2,000+ New AsteroidsThe first images from the Vera Rubin Observatory’s massive new camera are wild—millions of galaxies, nebulae, and over 2,000 never-seen-before asteroids (including some near-Earth ones, but don’t worry, we’re safe). This telescope is about to scan the entire night sky every few nights for a decade, basically making a real-life time-lapse movie of the universe. Can you imagine what else it’ll find? Stay tuned for more cosmic surprises! #SpaceNews #Asteroids #VeraRubin #Science60Share
megangibson+FollowThis Telescope Just Changed Space ForeverThe Vera C Rubin Observatory in Chile just dropped its first-ever cosmic pics, and they’re wild. This telescope’s camera is so powerful it could spot a golf ball on the Moon! It’s set to scan the southern sky nonstop for 10 years, hunting for killer asteroids, mapping the Milky Way, and maybe even finding that mysterious Planet Nine. Scientists are geeking out—this is a once-in-a-generation leap for astronomy. Imagine getting 10 million space alerts a night! #SpaceNews #Astronomy #VeraRubin #Science90Share
