The Vera Rubin Observatory has begun operations in Chile, aiming to photograph the entire southern sky every four days with an ultra-powerful telescope and a 3,200-megapixel camera. Named after pioneering astronomer Vera Rubin, the observatory will help track asteroids, monitor changing celestial objects, and discover billions of galaxies — offering new clues about the universe’s structure, dark matter, and our cosmic origins.
