One step closer to science-ready😎

Simulated Solar System objects are now part of Rubin's Data Preview 0 ☄️ That's great news for Solar System scientists preparing to use #LSST—they can now test their analysis tools using the Rubin Science Platform (data.lsst.cloud)!

Scientists have found two interstellar objects so far: 'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov. With the Legacy Survey of Space & Time (#LSST), they'll find many more.

While it's hard to predict how many, one thing's for sure: Solar System science will enter a new era of discovery with Rubin!

You're not from around here, are ya? ☄️

Interstellar objects come from star systems far, far away—& give scientists another way to learn about other systems.

With #LSST, scientists will find many interstellar objects that would've remained hidden!

Hello #Astrodon ! I still feel #NewHere so here’s an #introduction . I’m an #extragalactic astronomer at the #OpenUniversity in the UK, interested in submm blobs, strong gravitational lensing, #MachineLearning applications, crowdsourced data mining (#CitizenScience), and #OpenScience. I do fun stuff in the European Open Science Cloud #EOSC and work with #Euclid, #LSST #DESC #SLSC, #Herschel, #ALMA, #HST, #JWST and pretty much anything that’ll give me observational data tbh

Hey #astronomy and #space folks… Excited to be learning how to Mastodon! I’m a professor in Seattle, I love using #nasa data, I look for aliens - aka #SETI - and I’m super excited for next generation telescopes like #LSST and the Vera Rubin Observatory.
