Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile has released the first images of scenes within the distance galaxies along with our Milky Way, showing distant objects with unprecedented clarity.
The US-funded observatory located on the summit of Sero Pachon in Central Chile, where the night sky is particularly clear and pollution-free, is equipped with the world’s largest digital camera and 8.4 meters (27.5 feet) telescope.
Images of unaffected clarity
As Website of observatoryThe telescope and camera “will take wide images of the sky of the Southern Hemisphere for 10 years, cover the entire sky for a few nights and produce ultra-wide, ultra-high definition, time-laps record-up to record-ar.”
The first images released had a holistic picture of the trifid nebula and the lagoon nebula was more than seven hours. Both Nebula, which are the birthplace of stars, are within our Milky Way Galaxy, but several thousand lights are away, and the image never shows details before the lakes.
Another image showed the female cluster, including 2.000 galaxies.
A decade scanning the night sky
Observatory, which in two decades, wants to launch its major project – The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSS) – later this year. During this, it will take the highly accurate scan of the night sky every day for a decade.
Among other things, the observatory is being welcomed for its ability to track asteroids and spot the interstestler objects passing through the solar system.
A joint initiative of the US National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy Observatory named American astronomer Vera C. Rubin (1928–2016) is named after the leader.
Rubin’s research at the Galaxy rotation rates provided the first motivational evidence for the survival of the so -called dark matter, who think that despite their rapid spinning speed, the galaxies may be a factor holding the galaxies together, which would be otherwise the reason for disintegrating them.
