The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has started its big sky survey. It uses the largest digital camera ever built to see new parts of space.

The telescope is on a mountain in Chile, looking at the southern sky. It will take many pictures every night for the next ten years.

Scientists want to map billions of stars and galaxies in great detail. These quick pictures will help them find objects hard to see before.

The observatory showed its first beautiful images of nebulas last year. Now its equipment is ready for the long survey with high accuracy.

This project gets money from U.S. science and energy groups. It is named after Vera Rubin, who studied dark matter and energy.
