Vera C. Rubin Observatory Captures Image of Over 500,000 Galaxies and 50,000 Stars
Astronomers at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile captured a detailed image featuring over 500,000 galaxies and 50,000 stars using the world's largest digital camera, a 3.2-gigapixel device mounted on the 8.4-meter Simonyi Survey Telescope. The image, created by layering hundreds of exposures, reveals various galaxy types and distant cosmic features in the COSMOS field, a region studied for over two decades by multiple telescopes. This collaborative project is funded by the US National Science Foundation and Department of Energy.
