NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory launches real-time discovery machine for monitoring the night skyhttps://www6.slac.stanford.edu/news/2026-02-25-nsf-doe-vera-c-rubin-observatory-launches-real-time-discovery-machine-monitoringFrom camera to researchers’ desks in two minutes
Located in Chile, Rubin Observatory is jointly operated by NSF NOIRLab and DOE’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The telescope is equipped with the LSST Camera, the largest digital camera ever built. With 3,200 megapixels, Rubin is capable of detecting faint and distant objects in the universe.
Every 40 seconds during nighttime observations, Rubin captures a new region of the sky. It then sends the data on a seconds-long journey from Chile to the U.S. Data Facility (USDF) at SLAC in California for initial processing. Rubin’s data management system automatically compares it to a template made from previous images of the same region. This comparison allows it to detect the slightest variations. With every change, such as the appearance of a new point of light, an object’s movement, or a change in brightness, the system generates a public alert within a record 2-minute interval. With such a large and sensitive camera, and the ability to quickly process historic amounts of data, Rubin can produce up to 7 million alerts each night.
