I’d hate to be on pager duty for those days.
Jeebers. Vera Rubin is an absolute machine.
I’m sold. Where do I sign up for alerts?
> In the first year of the LSST, Rubin is expected to capture images of more objects than all other optical observatories combined in human history.
Holy shit.
Who got it’s name after other first?
NVIDIA Vera Rubin or this?
It’s so funny it was like 2 posts later on reddit after Nvidia rubin post lmao.
Nice! There’s a pubic dashboard you can view basic events. Can’t wait till it’s fully up..
7 million alerts per night sounds a bit excessive.
