Imagine looking up and watching a star suddenly lose 99% of its light. These stars are a rare type of variable star called an R Coronae Borealis. They suddenly puff out huge clouds of dust, blocking nearly all their light for months before returning to normal.

Guess before you read on…How many stars and galaxies are in NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory's Ocean of Stars? The answer is… 450,000 stars and 250,000 galaxies! 🤯 Over the next decade, Rubin will map over 17 billion stars and 20 billion galaxies. 🔭✨ ➡️

Rubin Observatory's 8.4-meter mirror is finally, well, a mirror! 🥳 The glass got its shiny coating this past weekend—but what did that actually look like? Find out in the fifth and final video in our "Making of Rubin's 8.4-meter Mirror" series ✨ #CaptureTheCosmos

We have a telescope!🤩 Last week, summit staff successfully installed Rubin Observatory's combined primary/tertiary mirror. With all three mirrors & the commissioning camera in place, we officially—for the first time in 15 years of construction—have a complete telescope!🥳 🧵

Scrub a dub 🫧 ...except no scrubbing the delicate observatory optics! We don't use cloths or lens cleaner to clean the giant camera lenses. Instead, our summit staff use a high-speed stream of carbon dioxide "snow" to push debris off of the glass surface.

☄️ Say hello to Comet 3I/ATLAS, just the third interstellar object ever seen in our Solar System! U.S. National Science Foundation–DOE Office of Science Rubin Observatory didn’t discover the comet, but even during testing, it caught a glimpse. Imagine what we'll find once science operations begin later this year!

The word’s largest camera built for astronomy and astrophysics has arrived at Rubin Observatory! The LSST Camera completed a cross-continental trek from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory after two decades of work, marking the arrival of Rubin’s last major component in Chile. 🔗:
