First astronomical image from revolutionary telescope

A powerful new telescope in Chile has released its first images, showing their unprecedented ability to the colleague in the dark depth of the universe.

In a picture, clouds of huge colored gas and dust revolve around the Earth to create a star for 9,000 light years.

Vera Si Rubin Observatory, the house of the world’s most powerful digital camera promises to change our understanding of the universe.

If a ninth planet is present in our solar system, scientists say that this telescope will be found in its first year.

It should detect the killer asteroids in the striking distance of the Earth and map in a milky manner. It will also answer important questions about dark matter, mysterious substance that creates most of our universe.

At a press conference on Monday, the observatory revealed that in 10 hours, the telescope detected 2,104 new asteroids and seven space objects close to the Earth.

All other space and land survey jointly find about 20,000 asteroids in a year.

The one -generation moment for astronomy is the beginning of a 10 -year filming of the southern night sky.

Royal, an astronomer for Scotland, Professor Catherine Hymens says, “I have been working for this point personally for about 25 years. We wanted to create this unprecedented facility for decades and wanted to do this type of survey.”

The UK is a prominent partner in the survey and will host data centers to process very wide Snapshots as the binoculars sweep everything that captures everything in its way.

Vera Rubin can increase the number of items known in our solar system.

BBC News visited Vera Rubin Observatory before the release of images.

It sits on a mountain Sero Pachon in Chile Andes, hosting several observatory on private land dedicated to space research.

Very high, very dry, and very dark. This is an ideal place to see stars.

Maintaining this darkness is sacred. At night, the ride of the bus riding above and below the air road should be done carefully, as full-beam headlights should not be used.

There is no different inside the observatory.

There is an entire engineering unit that is dedicated to ensuring that the dome around the binoculars, which opens in the night sky, is dark – closing the evil LED or other stray lights that can interfere with the astronomical light that they are captured from the night sky.

Starlite is “enough” to navigate, stating scientist Ailana Urback.

She is one of the major goals of Observatory, she says, “Understanding the history of the universe”, which means being able to see unconscious galaxies or supernova explosions that were “billions of years ago”.

“So, we really need very sharp images,” says Ailana.

Each details of the design of the observatory demonstrate the same accuracy.

It receives it through its unique three-core design. The light enters the binoculars from the night sky, hits the primary mirror (8.4 m diameter), reflected on a third mirror (4.8 m) on a third mirror (3.4 m) before entering its camera.

The mirrors should be kept in an impeccable position. Even a species of dust can change the image quality.

The high reflection and speed of this allows the telescope to catch a lot of light, which is an active optical expert Guilam Megias in the observatory, says that “really far away, which, in astronomy, they come from earlier times” to inspect “really important”.

The camera inside the binoculars will repeatedly capture the sky of the night for ten years, every three days, for the heritage survey of space and time.

At 1.65mx 3m, its weight is 2,800kg and it offers a wide area of ​​view.

This will catch an image for about 8–12 hours every 40 seconds, which for about 8–12 hours at night for rapid repairing of domes and telescope mounts.

It has 3,200 megapixels (67 times more than the iPhone 16 Pro camera) and will require 400 Ultra HD TV screen to show the same image.

“When we got the first picture here, it was a special moment,” said Mr. Megias.

“When I first started working with this project, I met someone who had been working on this since 1996. I was born in 1997. It makes you realize that it is an attempt by a generation of astronomers.”

This will be bottom for hundreds of scientists around the world to analyze the stream of data alerts, which will be at the peak of about 10 million in a night.

The survey will work on four areas: changes in sky or transient objects, formation of Milky Way, Maping of Solar Division, and how to understand dark matter or the universe.

But its biggest power lies in its continuity. It will repeatedly survey the same areas, and every time it detects a change, it will alert scientists.

“This transient side is really a new unique thing … in which we have the ability to show something, about which we did not even think about,” Professor Hemes.

But it can also help protect us in detecting dangerous objects, which suddenly wander near the Earth, including asteroids such as YRR4, which scientists were briefly worried early this year that was on the track to smash in our planet.

Very large mirror of the camera will help scientists to detect and track the unconscious of the illuminations emitted from these objects as they move through space.

Professor Alis Dassen at Durham University says, “This is transformative. This is the biggest data set we have ever had to look at our galaxy.

She will achieve images to analyze the boundaries of stars in Milky Way.

She currently says that the farthest access to most data is about 163,000 light years, but using Vera Rubin, scientists could see up to 1.2 million light years.

Pro Danson also expects to see the stars of Milky Way, or destroyed stars in the cemetery, as well as small satellites that are still alive, but incredibly unconscious and difficult to find.

Tantalizingly, Vera Rubin is considered powerful enough to solve a long -standing mystery about the existence of the planet nine of our solar system.

This object can be 700 times away from the distance between the Earth and the Sun, beyond the reach of other land telescopes.

Professor Hemons says, “It takes us a long time to understand how this new beautiful observatory works. But I’m ready for it.”
