🚀 Fastest spinner in space—meet asteroid 2025 MN45. During commissioning, the Vera Rubin Observatory spotted this ~710-meter-wide rock completing a full rotation in under 2 minutes. That’s a record for any asteroid over 500 meters and proves it’s solid rock, not a loose rubble pile. Bonus: this is Rubin’s first peer-reviewed science result—and it’s just getting started.

Yale’s Professor Larry Gladney joins us live in the WAS classroom:

“A Survey for the Ages: The Vera Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time.”

It’s also our holiday party, so prepare for questionable sweaters, apple cider, and at least one astronomer trying to hang tinsel on the telescopes.

Join us! 👉 https://was-ct.org/events/larry-gladney-professor-of-physics-at-yale/

"At the end of its planned 10-year survey, Rubin will have taken 2 million images with 2,300 megapixels each, capturing more of the cosmos than any other existing telescope."
