Millions of New Asteroids – How The Vera Rubin Telescope Changes Everything



Scott Manley

The New Vera C Rubin Obsservatory in Chile is a fast telescope designed to survey the night sky at great depth and revisiting the same locations every few days. That means it’s designed to collect data about the sky over space and TIME, this massive data set will grow 30 terabytes per day, and instead of requesting telescope time for scientific studies scientists will just be able to grab the data they need and apply computer power to analyze their problem.
It’s an absolutely revolutionary design in terms of its optics, camera, structure and processing power, and it will change our understanding of the universe.

  1. The tones while searching the picture may actually be helpful.
    If the program was super accurate, it may help astronomers find stuff they can't see?

  2. So, how soon before someone puts out an app which sucks in the data from one image and not only does whatever you were using but provides info when you click on a galaxy/nebula/star cluster/star? It would probably have to limit the number of stars it can handle.

  3. As a result of the capability of this telescopes ability to determine an asteroids makeup and recent advances in propulsion supports a concept I have for making Mars more habitable. It involves the movement of ice asteroids to Mars but it also develops the technology to safely move asteroids to Earth orbit for easy mining. Can anybody recommend someone to help me move this concept forward?

  4. I still cannot get over the fact that two thousand new asteroids were discovered in the first 10 hours of operation, which is bonkers! 😁🤯 Thanks, Scott!

  5. The secondary mirror on this telescope may be the largest convex mirror (3.4 metres) in use now, but the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) will have a 4.2 metre secondary convex mirror.

  6. They should put the Vera Rubin Telescope in Space . In fact we need to build a Small Moon size Astronomy Space Station specifically staffed by Astronomers with Very Large Telescopes. ;-}

  7. This is going to be really cool. There isnt a substitute for direct observation for just enjoying the wonder of the sky, but an actual, nearly live full-sky map at this resolution is going to be amazing.

    I hope this data gets into schools.

  8. I don't know who convinced you to make that LCD-of-YT thumbnail, but tell them they were wrong and don't do that again… we might confuse you for something disposable, like 90% of all channels on YT. 🙁
