First celestial image from revolutionary telescope

A strong new telescope in Chile released its first photos, as it showed its unprecedented ability to look at the dark depths of the universe.

In one image, the hovers of the vast colored gas and dust in the area of ​​the stars formed 9000 light years of Earth.

The Vera C Rubin Observatory, the world’s most powerful digital camera, is converting our understanding of the universe.

If there is the ninth planet in our solar system, scientists say that this telescope will find it in its first year.

The killer asteroids should be discovered at an amazing distance from the ground and draw the Milky Way map. It will also answer the decisive questions about the dark matter, the mysterious substance that forms most of our world.

This moment, which was in the generation once for astronomy, is a continuous start of 10 years of the southern night sky.

“I have been working for this point for about 25 years. For decades we wanted to build this huge facility and to do this type of survey,” said Professor Catherine Heemans, astronomer Royal for Skadland.

The UK is a major survey partner and will host data centers to process very detailed shots as the sky telescope is sweeping everything on its way.

Vera Rubin can increase the number of organisms known in our solar system ten times.

BBC News visited the Vera Robin Observatory before the photos were launched.

Located on Cerro Pachón, a mountain in the Chilean Andes Mountains hosts many bets on private lands designated for space research.

Very high, very dry, and very dark. It is an ideal site for watching the stars.

Maintaining this darkness is the sacred. The bus should be rides up and down on the road is shining at night with caution, because the full headlights should not be used.

Inside the observatory is not different.

There is a complete engineering unit dedicated to ensuring that the dome surrounding the telescope, which opens on the sky of the night, is dark – floats on the rogue lights or other thorny lights that can interfere with the astronomical light they take from the night sky.

Scientists explain Elania Urbach that “the light of the stars” is “enough” to move.

She adds that one of the great objectives of the observatory is “understanding the history of the universe”, which means the ability to see dim sees or supernova explosions that occurred “billions of years ago.”

“Therefore, we really need very sharp photos,” says Elana.

Each observatory design details show similar accuracy.

It achieves this through its unique design in three stages. The light enters the telescope from the night sky, hitting the basic mirror (diameter of 8.4 meters), reflected on the secondary mirror (3.4 meters) again on a third mirror (4.8 meters) before entering the camera.

Mirrors should remain in a flawless state. Even a spot of dust can change the quality of the image.

The high and speed reflection of this telescope by capturing a lot of light says Guilem Megias, the active optical expert in the observatory, says it is “really important” to monitor things from “really far away, which means in astronomy, it comes from the previous times.”

The camera inside the telescope will take the night sky over and over again for ten years, every three days, to make an old scan for the place and time.

At 1.65MX 3M, weighs 2800 kg and provides a wide vision field.

You will take an image every 40 seconds, for a period ranging between 8 and 12 hours per night thanks to the replacement of the dome and the animated telescope.

It contains 3200 megapixels (67 times more than the iPhone 16 Pro), making it so highly accurate that it can take a golf ball on the moon and will require 400 Ultra HD TV screens to view one image.

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

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

It will return to hundreds of scientists all over the world to analyze the data alert stream, which will make climax in about 10 million a night.

The survey will work on four areas: maps of changes in the sky or transit objects, form the milky road, drawing maps of the solar system, understanding the dark matter or how the universe is formed.

But the biggest force lies in its stability. You will scan the same areas over and over again, and every time you discover change, scientists will alert.

“This temporary aspect is really the new unique thing … he has the ability to show something we have not thought about before,” said Professor Heimins.

But this can also help protect us by discovering dangerous things that suddenly fade near the Earth, including asteroids like YR4 that scientists who were worrying for a short time early this year were on the right path to destroy our planet.

The very large mirrors for the camera will help scientists discover the narrowest light and distortions emitted from these organisms and follow them during their speed across space.

“It’s a transformative. The largest data collection would have ever seen in our galaxy. It will fuel what we have been doing for many years,” says Professor Alice Deson of Durham University.

You will receive pictures to analyze the extent that the stars reach in the Milky Way.

Currently, most of the data from the stars go back to about 163,000 light years, but Vera Robin may see again to 1.2 million light years.

Professor Dison also expects to see in the Milky Way game, or the stars that have been destroyed over time, as well as small galaxies of satellites that are still alive but incredibly faint and difficult to find.

Anxiously, Vera Robin is believed to be strong enough to solve a long -term puzzle about the existence of our ninth solar system.

This organism can be far from 700 times the distance between the Earth and the sun, out of the reach of other earthly telescopes.

“It will really take a long time to understand how this new beautiful observatory works,” said Professor Haymans.
