The open star cluster Messier 21 as imaged by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory
Located near the Trifid Nebula, Messier 21 is relatively young and tightly packed with small, dim stars.

We are 4 days from Rubin First Look, so we're locked in on our 4 science goals!
NSFF–DOE Rubin Observatory will focus on:
🧐 Understanding Dark Matter and Dark Energy
🌎 Creating an Inventory of the Solar System
🌌 Mapping the Milky Way
☄️ Exploring the Changing SkyAs we begin to #CaptureTheCosmos, we hope to answer questions like what are dark matter and dark energy? How did our Solar System form and evolve? How did the Milky Way form, and how has it evolved?

The Universe is full of color 🌈
NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory has 6 filters to see specific ranges of colors, labeled u, g, r, i, z, and y. They allow Rubin to #CaptureTheCosmos from high-energy ultraviolet (u), to visible light (g, r), to near-infrared (i, z, y).
Why do we need filters? 🤨
Each filter helps scientists understand specific areas of interest, from young and hot stars that are bright in the ultraviolet, to very faint and distant old galaxies that are visible in the infrared.
