A new NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory image featuring hundreds of thousands of distant galaxies in and around the COSMOS field marks the Observatory’s first LSST Camera image and catalog release for science.

The 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time has officially started, marking the beginning of a new era in astronomy and astrophysics.

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

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

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.

The latest results combined weak lensing and galaxy clustering and incorporated four dark energy probes from a single experiment for the first time.

His visit highlighted the breadth of our world-class research and the people and collaborations that make it possible. A key theme of the day: how SLAC and the National Labs are advancing AI to accelerate discovery.

The state-of-the-art ‘big-data facility’ unveils its first images and video, bringing the night sky to life like never before.

NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is about to embark on its quest to capture the cosmos, marking the culmination of decades of work by thousands of people across the globe.

NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory will add an unprecedented amount of cosmological data to the study of the structure and expansion of the Universe.

Wechsler is one of seven Stanford researchers to join the scholarly society, which works to promote science for public good.

Now that NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s LSST Camera has been installed, what’s next?
