NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory has just successfully completed a series of full-system tests using an engineering test camera.

A new center brings astrophysics, data science, and AI together to answer some of the universe’s biggest questions.

AI is playing a key role in helping SLAC researchers find new galaxies and tiny neutrinos, and discover new drugs.

The observatory's practice camera has captured its first on-sky data.

Vera C. Rubin Observatory will unite coordinated observations of cosmic phenomena using the four messengers of the universe.

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.

Risa Wechsler, astrophysicist explains: 85% of the matter in the universe is dark matter, a substance that interacts through gravity but doesn't emit light.

Hannah Pollek, a SLAC mechanical engineer, gives us an inside look at how the LSST camera will photograph the southern night sky once it gets installed at Rubin Observatory.

Margaux Lopez is the logistics lead for shipping the LSST Camera to Chile. The world's largest digital camera, crafted at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California, has arrived at Rubin Observatory in Chile after an intricate journey along the west...

Vera C. Rubin Observatory will capture the faint light of distant brown dwarfs to help scientists understand the Milky Way’s formation and evolution.

Researchers have released 10 terabytes of data from the OpenUniverse project, which has created a detailed simulation of the universe astrophysicists can use to help calibrate expectations from two major new telescopes.
