A new window in the universe is about to open. On Monday (June 23), the Vera C Robin Observatory – a joint venture between the American National Science Foundation and the US Department of Energy – will issue its first photos in a live broadcast.
Livestream starts at 11 am EST (1500 GMT) and will be broadcast on Space.com as well as on Robin ObservatoryOfficial channels. The viewers will get a first look at the wonderful photos taken by the Observatory’s 3200-megapixel camera-the largest digital camera ever created.
Here’s everything you need to know to control it.
What is the Robin Observatory?
The Robin Observatory, which is located at a height in the Chilean Andes Mountains, is located on the top of the Cerro Pachón Mountain, a telescope of the next generation that was built to wipe the entire southern sky. You will see its basic mission, which is the old survey of space and time (LSST), the observatory image of the sky for a period of 10 years, resulting in an unprecedented amount of data in the form of large -scale huge time operations.
The huge 27.6 -feet mirror (8.4 meters) in the telescope (8.4 meters) makes it very strong in the field of vision, and it is uniquely strong to explore the dynamic universe, and tracks everything from asteroids to super explosions to the most distant galaxies.
There is a great hope that the Robin Scholars Observatory data will help reveal the secrets of dark matter and dark energy as well. For this reason, it was called the name of the astronomer Vera Robin, the queen of the true dark matter that provided the first convincing evidence of the existence of the material.
How to see
Livestream event – “First Look: Pictures from the Rubin Observatory LSST” – – Monday, June 23, 11 am EST (1500 GMT). It will be broadcast in English and Spanish.

Why do it matter
The first light of telescope is always a major moment – remember the collective joy of the space community through First image versions from James Web telescope for space?
For the Robin Observatory, these first pictures are a milestone in the assignment process. Although the observatory is not expected to officially start the full scientific operations of the LSST mission until later this year, this disclosure will give us a first look at the strength of the telescope – and made us enthusiastic for all upcoming discoveries!
So join us on Monday morning for this for the first historical time. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is ready to open its eyes and the universe appears for us in a new light.
