The largest digital camera ever built is beginning to capture images of unseen corners of the universe in finer detail. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has officially begun its decade-long cosmic survey. Perched on a Chilean mountaintop, the telescope will point its eye at the southern sky, taking hundreds of images per night. Researchers hope Rubin’s observations will help them take a better census of the universe and provide clues about puzzling concepts like dark matter and dark energy. It’s funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and Department of Energy. The observatory is named after astronomer Vera Rubin.
