Vera C. Rubin Observatory
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, located at an altitude of 2700 m in Chile, recently became operational. The observatory is named for Vera C. Rubin, an American astronomer who pioneered discoveries about galactic rotation rates (this discovery has led to the understanding of dark matter).
Site construction began on 14 April 2015 with the ceremonial laying of the first stone. The first on-sky observations with the engineering camera occurred on 24 October 2024, while system first light images were released 23 June 2025. Images are recorded by a 3.2-gigapixel charge-coupled device imaging (CCD) camera, the largest digital camera ever constructed.
Some of its first released images are below:
