Revealing the Universe with the Biggest Movie ever Made

Date TBA

Starting in 2025, the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory will undertake one of the most ambitious scientific and technological endeavors ever attempted: using the biggest camera ever made to effectively create a 10-year motion picture of the changing universe so detailed and precise that it reveals the hidden nature of dark matter, dark energy and other long-standing mysteries about the universe. Named in honor of Vera Rubin, a pioneering researcher who studied dark matter, NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory is located on the summit of Cerro Pachón in Chile.
