I fear Claire Lamman has fallen off the Fediverse, but: this year's xmas #gingerbread is the #VeraRubinObservatory (formerly known as #LSST).

🚀 Tonight - 8PM at the Westport Observatory: Yale’s Dr. Larry Gladney joins us in person for “A Survey for the Ages”—a fast, mind-bending tour of the Vera Rubin Observatory’s LSST and the 10-year mission to build the ultimate time-lapse movie of the Universe.
Come in person or join on YouTube/Zoom. Details: https://was-ct.org/events/larry-gladney-professor-of-physics-at-yale/

Rubin Observatory and the Galaxies
Starting in late 2025, when it begins the decade-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), Rubin will capture skies like these in more detail than ever before.

“The Vera C. Rubin telescope has just [mid-2025] released its first images, and they’re spectacular…
On a mountain in Chile, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, with its massive 3.2-billion-pixel camera, is capturing images that rival those from the James Webb Space Telescope. Get ready to see some of the most stunning astronomical images ever taken as [they] explore how this groundbreaking project will help us unlock the secrets of the universe. This is just the beginning...”

The University of Washington was one of the founding partners in the effort to build the #RubinObservatory - and now that Rubin's first pictures of the cosmos have been released, UW astronomers are taking a victory lap and looking forward to the discoveries to come. https://www.geekwire.com/2025/university-of-washington-rubin-observatory/ #Space #LSST
A story on how Australia is contributing to the Vera Rubin Observatory via the data wrangling experts in Data Central, part of the AAO, at Macquarie University. And also Swinburne.

Ceph, and a lot of DASD.
And as I noted elsethread, their scale factors all appear to be powers of 10, so the fucktonnes are apparently metric.

I should add that this error has already been called out several times in the YouTube comments, apparently much to the chagrin of one person who started some calculations using the figures #ScottManley said at the beginning of the video only to read the comments and find that xe was 3 orders of magnitude off. (-:
Its own WWW site says just 20TB per day with roughly 60PB raw over the course of the full 10 years, boiling down to a 15PB dataset.
And they appear to be genuinely using SI prefixes, given the multiplication factors that they supply. So true TB and PB; not TiB and PiB, which would be between 9% and 12% bigger.

Made from over 1100 images captured by NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, the video begins with a close-up of two galaxies then zooms out to reveal about 10 million galaxies.
Those 10 million galaxies are roughly .05% of the approximately 20 billion galaxies Rubin Observatory will capture during its 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time.

Le miroir primaire et le miroir tertiaire sont sur le même support !
Du coup ça fait un gros trou dans le primaire quand même !
Du coup ça n'a plus vraiment de sens de parler de diamètre brut (8,4 m) pour mesurer la sensibilité du télescope, si ?
On devrait plutôt parler de surface de collecte en m² ou alors de diamètre-équivalent-primaire (6.7 m).
"Software suggests Rubin Observatory will discover millions of solar system objects" by GeekWire / @alanboyle - Getting a grasp on what effect the high-resolution sky survey of #RubinObservatory #LSST will have: using previous rates of discovery of asteroids to estimate what we don't yet know, multi-university Sorcha simulation forecasts LSST may discover half of all then-known asteroids within a year. And its majority share will continue to grow. https://www.geekwire.com/2025/sorcha-software-rubin-observatory-millions/ #space #astronomy
