Construction began in 2015 and is expected to be completed by 2024.
The main partner agencies involved in this ambitious project are the National Science
Foundation and the Department of Energy.
The telescope will boast impressive features, including an 8.4-meter primary mirror and a field of view 40 times larger than any other telescope.
Situated atop the Cerro Pachón mountain in Chile, the observatory has been carefully chosen for its exceptional observing conditions.
The primary mission goal of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory is to conduct the Legacy Survey of Space and Time.
This survey will focus on exploring the dark energy and dark matter that comprise more than 95% of the universe.
The telescope will also be able to detect and track potentially hazardous asteroids, helping to safeguard our planet.
In recent developments, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory has achieved major milestones in preparing for its start-up.
The construction of the dome for the telescope is nearly complete, marking a significant step forward for the project.
The camera, known as the LSST camera, has been successfully assembled, tested, and is ready for installation.
The Rubin Observatory is currently undergoing commissioning and testing phases to ensure its full readiness.
Excitement continues to build as astronomers and scientists eagerly anticipate the start of observations in the near future.
With its advanced capabilities and cutting-edge technology, the Vera C. Rubin Telescope Observatory is poised to revolutionize astronomy.
Stay tuned for more updates on this thrilling endeavor and the incredible discoveries it will bring.
