First images: The first published images show the enormous diversity of objects that the Vera C. Rubin Observatory has captured in its images. The images are so large that no single screen is sufficient to display all the details. All images are available for download on the observatory's website.

Comprehensive sky survey: The observatory will conduct a ten-year survey of the southern sky, investigating the influence of dark matter and dark energy on the distribution of galaxies in the universe, as well as variable phenomena such as supernovae and the flaring of galaxy cores when they swallow matter.

Telescope of records: With an 8.4-metre telescope and the world's largest digital camera, the observatory captures large amounts of data.
