NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory First Look Event

About

The NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s First Look event,hosted by the National Academies' Space Studies Board and the Board on Physics and Astronomy, will be livestreamed from 11am-12:30pm ET on Monday, June 23, 2025. At this international celebration, the Rubin Observatory team will unveil the observatory’s first images - a set of large, ultra-high-definition images and videos that showcase Rubin’s extraordinary capabilities to the world for the first time. This unique movie will bring the cosmos to life, yielding a treasure trove of discoveries: asteroids and comets, pulsating stars, and supernova explosions.

The recently constructed NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory on Cerro Pachón in Chile will use the world's largest digital camera to reveal the most detailed time-lapse view of the cosmos to date. This first-of-a-kind observatory, recommended by the National Academies' 2010 decadal survey of astronomy and astrophysics, will help expand our understanding of the Universe, chronicle its evolution, and explore the mysteries of dark energy and dark matter.
