Join Associate Curator of Astrophysics Jackie Faherty for an awe-inspiring look at the dawn of a new era in astronomy. As the Vera C. Rubin Observatory sends its first images back to Earth, Faherty will guide audiences through what makes this observatory so revolutionary.
Named for the trailblazing astronomer Vera Cooper Rubin, who helped confirm the existence of dark matter, the observatory will scan the entire southern sky every few nights for a decade, creating the most comprehensive time-lapse movie of the universe ever attempted. Faherty will explore how this groundbreaking facility is going to transform our understanding of the cosmos, from tracking asteroids and exploding stars to uncovering the elusive nature of dark energy and dark matter.
