Rubin Observatory spustil alertový systém
📡 Historický milník: Observatoř Vera C. Rubin v Chile spustila 24. 2. real-time alertový systém. První noc — 800 000 alertů: supernovy, proměnné hvězdy, aktivní jádra galaxií, asteroidy.
Cíl: až 7 milionů alertů/noc. Změny hlášeny do 2 minut od snímku. Největší digitální kamera (3 200 Mpx) začíná plnit účel. Letos startuje desetiletý průzkum LSST.

NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory launches real-time discovery machine for monitoring the night sky

NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory has issued its first scientific alerts, enabling dynamic, real-time observation of the night sky. The alerts are expected to increase to about 7 million per night...

#LSST performs very well for large impactors ☄️, discovering about 79.7% of objects larger than 140 m before impact. Only 50.3% of 50–140 m impactors, 26.8% of 20–50 m impactors, and 10.5% of 10–20 m impactors are discovered 🔭 at all. About 60% of large impactors fail to reach a one-year warning threshold. Upper mid-size objects are usually discovered only a few months before impact 💥 https://www.newplanetarium.com/journal/2026-01-29

Can Rubin Spot an Incoming Asteroid in Time? Testing LSST’s Early-Warning Power — New Planetarium

This paper evaluates how effectively the Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s LSST can detect asteroids on a direct collision course with Earth and how much warning time those detections provide. LSST performs well for large, hazardous asteroids but struggles to give long advance warning for smaller impactor

"Rubin Observatory sends out thousands of data alerts" by GeekWire / @alanboyle - The first night of astronomical alerts from the high-resolution sky survey of #RubinObservatory #LSST was a batch of 800,000 possible new object detections. This is apparently the new normal. Astronomers have a flood of new data to process every day. https://www.geekwire.com/2026/rubin-observatory-data-alert/ #space #astronomy #tech
Rubin Observatory sends out thousands of data alerts with an assist from Seattle astronomers

A software system has begun sending out alerts about moving asteroids, exploding stars and other phenomena detected by the Rubin Observatory.

Rubin Observatory spots an #asteroid that spins fast enough to set a record
The asteroid, known as #2025MN45, is nearly half a mile (710 meters) in diameter and makes a full rotation every 1.88 minutes, based on an analysis of data from the #VeraCRubinObservatory in #Chile.
2025 MN45 is one of more than 2,100 solar system objects detected during the observatory’s commissioning phase. Over time, the #LSST Camera tracked variations in the light reflected by those objects.

Rubin Observatory and the Galaxies

Starting in late 2025, when it begins the decade-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), Rubin will capture skies like these in more detail than ever before.

“The Vera C. Rubin telescope has just [mid-2025] released its first images, and they’re spectacular…
On a mountain in Chile, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, with its massive 3.2-billion-pixel camera, is capturing images that rival those from the James Webb Space Telescope. Get ready to see some of the most stunning astronomical images ever taken as [they] explore how this groundbreaking project will help us unlock the secrets of the universe. This is just the beginning...”

Vera Rubin : pourquoi un nouveau télescope... sur Terre ? | Le blob, l'extra-média

Le super-télescope Vera Rubin, qui vient de livrer ses premières images, n’est pas dans l’espace mais bien sur Terre. Pourquoi ce choix ? Explications de l’astrophysicien Jérémy Neveu.
