The 3.5-meter  glass mirror is the first permanent component of the Simonyi Survey Telescope's  state-of-the-art, wide-field optical system to be installed and will soon contribute to a better understanding of our Universe.

LSST is currently under construction in Chile. The U.S. Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is leading the construction of the LSST camera – the largest digital camera ever built for astronomy.

SLAC scientists develop an approach to better guide the preparation of cell slices for cryogenic-electron tomography imaging.

NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory has issued its first scientific alerts, marking a historic milestone in astrophysics and kicking off a new era of dynamic, real-time observation of the night sky.

The experiment’s detectors have reached their operating temperature, almost a thousand times colder than outer space.

The camera will explore cosmic mysteries as part of the Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time.

Rubin’s largest asteroid haul yet, gathered before the Legacy Survey of Space and Time even begins, is just the “tip of the iceberg.”

The research sheds light on how a key regulator of inflammation forms, which could help guide new therapeutic approaches to inflammatory diseases.

SLAC scientists played key roles in leadership, survey design, cosmological  applications, studies of dark matter and of links to the cosmic microwave background.

This video breaks down how Rubin will run the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and build a 10-year time lapse of the entire Southern sky.

An international team of researchers simulated magnetic forces in the early universe and found they could bridge the gap between the observed and calculated rates of the universe’s expansion.
