Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s fast-moving telescope and huge digital camera will illuminate the faint glow of free-floating stars within galaxy clusters, providing unprecedented insight into the evolution of these dynamic structures.

The Secretary celebrated LCLS-II first light with 600 SLAC staff and collaborators Oct. 26.

As the SLAC-Stanford institute celebrates its 20th anniversary, three Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology researchers share what they’re most excited for in years to come. 

Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s unprecedented deep and wide survey will create most precise map of Universe ever.

Three SLAC scientists explain what they do to ensure the world's largest digital camera for astronomy is ready for the big time.

It takes a lot of meetings, travel logistics and even tracking down some parts to keep a large team collaborating on a project like the LSST Camera. That’s where administrator Regina Matter comes in.

Just because matter is visible doesn’t mean it’s easy to see.

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

The synthetic galaxy catalog will help test Roman's capabilities and foster collaboration with the Rubin project. 

LSST Camera images provide the inspiration for artist Lennart Lahuis’s “Astromelancholia.”
