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.

Telescope be nimble, telescope be quick...telescope jump over a candlestick? Ok, no jumping. But nimble and quick? Definitely. This real-time video shows how fast our 200+ ton telescope can move, a crucial part of how Rubin will scan the entire Southern sky every few nights.

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!🥳 🧵

☄️ 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!
