The first heavenly picture from the revolutionary telescope

The new powerful telescope in Chile released its first images, demonstrating its unprecedented ability to peek into the dark depths of the universe.

In one picture, huge colorful gas and dust clouds rotate in the starry region 9000 light years from the ground.

The Vera C Rubin Observatory, where the most powerful digital camera lives, promises to turn our understanding of the universe.

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

It should detect asteroids -the stabbeders in a strange distance from the ground and reflect the Milky Way. It will also answer important questions about dark matter, a mysterious substance that is most of our universe.

This moment in the generation for astronomy is the beginning of a permanent 10-year shot of the South Night Sky.

“I have been working personally to this point about 25 years. For decades, we wanted to build this phenomenal object and do this type of poll,” says Professor Catherine Haymons, Astrona Royal for Scotland.

UK is a key partner in the survey and takes data centers to process extremely detailed pictures as the telescope sweeps the sky that captures everything on its way.

Rubin’s faith can increase the number of known objects in our solar system ten times.

The BBC News visited the Vera Rubin Observatory before the images.

He is sitting in the city of Serra Pachon, a mountain in the Chilean Andes, which conducts several absertations on private land dedicated to space research.

Very high, very dry and very dark. This is the perfect place to observe the stars.

Maintaining this darkness is sacred. The bus trip up and down the window night should be done carefully because the full beam lights cannot be used.

The inner part of the observatory is no different.

There is a whole engineering unit dedicated to the supply of Kupala, surrounding the telescope that opens to the night sky, dark – the disconnection of rogue or other stray lights that can interfere with the astronomical light they capture from the night sky.

The star light is “enough” for navigation, explains scientist Elan Urbach.

One of the great goals of the observatory, she adds, “understand the history of the universe”, which means the possibility of seeing weak galaxies or supernova explosions that happened “billions of years ago”.

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

Each detail of the observatory shows similar accuracy.

This achieves this thanks to the unique three-quoter-mechanical design. The light enters the telescope from the night sky, enters the main mirror (diameter 8.4 m), displayed on the secondary mirror (3.4 m) back into the third mirror (4.8 m) before entering the camera.

The mirrors should be stored impeccable. Even the dust can change the quality of the image.

The high reflective capacity and speed allow the telescope to capture a lot of light, which is a megias, an active observatory optics expert, says that “it is really important” to watch “really far that, in astronomy, means that they come from earlier times.”

The camera inside the telescope repeatedly records the night sky for ten years, every three days, for hereditary examination of space and time.

At 1.65mx 3m it weighs 2800 kg and provides a wide field of view.

It will remove the picture every 40 seconds, about 8-12 hours a night due to the rapid rearrangement of the rolling mount of the dome and the telescope.

It has 3200 megapixels (67 times more than the iPhone 16 camera), making it so high resolution that it can capture the golf ball on the moon and will require 400 ultra HD screens to show one image.

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

“When I first started working with this project, I met a man who worked on him since 1996. I was born in 1997. It makes you realize that it is the aspiration of the astronomers.”

It will decrease to hundreds of scientists around the world to analyze the flow alerts that will be rush of approximately 10 million on the night.

The poll will work in four areas: reflection of changes in the sky or transitional objects, the formation of the Milky Way, the reflection of the solar system and the understanding of dark matter and how the universe is formed.

But its greatest force lies in its maturity. It will interview the same areas again and again, and every time it detects changes, they will warn scientists.

“This transition side is a really new unique thing … which has the potential to show us what we haven’t even thought before,” explains Professor Hayman.

But it can also help protect us by finding dangerous objects that suddenly do not stray near the ground, including asteroids like Yr4, which scientists are briefly concerned about earlier this year, were on the way to invade our planet.

Very large camera mirrors will help scientists discover the smallest light and distortions that are ejected from these objects and track them as speeds through space.

“This is transformational. This will be the largest set of data with which we should look at our galaxy when we should have been nourishing what we do for many years,” says Professor Ellis Deson of Darem University.

It will get images to analyze how far the stars reach the Milky Way.

At the moment, most data from the stars are returning about 163,000 light years old, but Vera Rubin could see up to 1.2 million light years.

Professor Deson also hopes to see the stellar halo of the Milky Way, or his stars cemetery destroyed over time, as well as small satellite galaxies that are still surviving, but incredibly weak and difficult to find.

It is believed that Vera Rubin is powerful enough to finally solve the long -standing secret about the existence of the planet of our solar system.

This object can be up to 700 times the distance between the earth and the sun, far beyond the reach of other terrestrial telescopes.

“We will need a lot of time to really understand how this new beautiful observatory works. But I’m so ready for it,” says Professor Hayman.
