It's like the holidays in July...our first week-long workshop after the first @NSF–@doescience Rubin Observatory image reveal! 🎁 We're one week out from the Rubin Community Workshop in Tucson, and we can't wait for five days of rich discussions & observatory updates! #Rubin2025

Ever been to a party so good you couldn’t stop talking about it? Same here 🥳 #RubinFirstLook was unforgettable, and made even more incredible thanks to 360+ Watch Parties around the world celebrating with us on June 23! Enjoy this trip down memory lane with us 🤩

The @VRubinObs will #CaptureTheCosmos to create an ultra-wide, ultra-high-definition time-lapse record of the universe. #LLNL researchers have designed major optical components for the telescope, including six of the largest optical filters ever produced.

Our favorite kinds of fireworks are the cosmic kind 🌟🎆 Our #RubinFirstLook image of the Trifid and Lagoon Nebulae has plenty of cosmic fireworks to explore! Let the bright, young stars in these clusters add some sparkle to your #FourthOfJuly holiday ✨ 📷: NSF–DOE Rubin Obs.
