Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Observatory The most sophisticated Vera Rubin who is at the top of Cerro Pachon, the Andes Mountains, Chile, released photos of the ‘shot’ results space First of them. Listen to its beauty.
This observatory succeeded in capturing light from millions of stars and galaxies far in a scale that had never happened before. The photo also revealed thousands of asteroids that were never seen before.

These images are taken using the largest camera and 10 hours of observation during the trial.
“The NSF-Doe Rubin observatory will gather more information about our universe than all optical telescopes throughout history,” said Brian Stone, Director of the National Science Agency (NSF), launched CNNMonday (6/23).
In his observations, this observatory managed to find 2,104 asteroids, including seven asteroids near the earth, which had never been seen before in the solar system. According to scientists in the observatory, the asteroids near the newly discovered earth are not dangerous.
NSF estimates that Rubin’s observatory can find millions of asteroids in its first two years. This telescope is also considered the most effective way to detect comets or asteroids between stars that are likely to cross the solar system.

This observatory is equipped with a mirror design, sensitive camera, and the first telescope speed in the world. This allows the observatory to take thousands of images every night and reveal space that has the potential to crash into the earth.
Scientists at the Observatory also managed to record around 10 million galaxies detected by the camera, or around 0.05 percent of the 20 billion galaxies they will observe for 10 years.
The team also released a mosaic from Nebula Trifid and Lagoon, a territory of stars that resemble clouds in the constellation of Sagittarius stars. The mosaic consists of 678 separate images taken within seven hours, capturing faint details and previously did not look like gas clouds and dust in the nebula, which is thousands of light years from the earth.
This facility is planned to make the first scientific observation of the southern hemisphere using the Simonyi survey telescope 8.4 meters in diameter, on July 4. The location of the telescope in the southern hemisphere allows the extraordinary view of the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

Aaron Roodman, Professor of Particle and Astrophysics Physics at the Stanford University Slac National Acceleratory Laboratory in California, said Rubin’s ability to detect phenomena in Space allows him to become a ‘discovery machine’ that can identify an attractive focus area for other telescopes.
Rodman, who is also responsible for the assembly and testing of the Rubin observatory camera, added that this observatory can also facilitate the detection of the type of sky object that was previously unknown.
“Rubin has a great potential to help us understand what the exact of the dark energy and how the expansion of the universe is also being accelerated here,” Roodman said.
“Rubin’s unique ability to observe billions of galaxies and take pictures repeatedly for 10 years will allow us to see the universe in a truly new way,” he added.
