In 2026, the NSF- DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory will begin the 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). This survey will produce a treasure trove of data for a wide range of science objectives—from a census of our Solar System and exploring the structure of the Milky Way to cataloging transient objects and probing the nature of dark matter and dark energy. When complete, the LSST dataset will contain over 35 billion objects, creating an unprecedented movie of the southern sky.
