Starry sky|The Observatory offers an updated image of the southern starry sky for ten years.
The abstract is made by artificial intelligence and checked by man.
Observatory Vera Rubin started operations on Monday in the Chilean Desert. It released pictures of the southern starry sky immediately.
Rubin’s top -notch digital camera depicts changes in the entire southern starry sky for a long time.
The entire southern sky is portrayed once in three nights.
The camera can find new space for space, perhaps dark matter and asteroids dangerous to the earth.
Observatory Vera C. Rubinin The first photos were published on Monday.
Rubin’s Observatory is located in Chile on Pachón Mountain. It hides the world’s most accurate digital camera.
The Observatory will provide endless images from space for up to ten years from now on.
On Monday, it took the first pictures from the Virgin Starry. The picture shows thousands of stars and galaxies.
The pictures were presented to the world for only ten hours after the Observatory first tried shooting, says Scientific American of Science Magazine.
The name of the Observatory comes Vera C. Rubinilt, who was a famous American astronomer.
The Vera Rubin Observatory is located in Chile on Pachón Mountain.
Observatory With good camera and strong lenses, you can quickly scan the entire southern sky. It succeeds every three days.
This allows astronomers to watch how the local destinations change. At the same time, new, mobile objects may be found.
The camera takes pictures every 40 seconds and about 8-12 hours per night. The digital camera is so accurate that it could photograph a monthly golf ball from the ground.
“We see changing and moving objects. We see thousands and thousands of stars and galaxies, anywhere in space,” said the physicist of Stanford University Aaron Roodman In early June, says Scientific American.
Rodman is one of the program leaders of the Observatory.
Rubin Also follow local rasteroids and their movements. Observatory devices can also be used to search for the dark matter of space.
It is also estimated that Rubin could find the searched Planet 9 Already within a year, if the planet usually exists.
Planet 9 has been searched for for years. It may be up to 700 times as far as the distance between the earth and the sun.
Each area of the southern sky is depicted with Rubin up to about 800 times. Rubin should also detect asteroids hazardous to the Earth.
It will have time to survey the entire Milky Way of our home galaxy over the years.
Star -studded Focus on the pictures taken by Rubin on four areas.
These include changes in space targets, the formation of the Milky Way, the mapping of our solar system and the understanding of the dark matter of space.
“Rubin may show us something we haven’t even thought about before,” Professor thinks Catherine Heymans British Broadcasting Company BBC:n in an interview. He is a royal astronomer in Scotland and was launching the Rubin project 25 years ago.
Astronomers believe that Rubin also sees more small satellite galaxies. They are near our home galaxy Milky Way. Now they are very dim.
Initially, the data compiled by Rubin is limited to about 163,000 light years. In the end, it can see up to 1.2 million light years.
