#UniversityOfWashington 📆 July 31, 2023 “This is just a small taste of what to expect with the #RubinObservatory in less than two years, when #HelioLinc3D will be discovering an object ☄️ like this every night." Any survey 🔭 will have difficulty discovering these faint 🌑 objects near its #sensitivity limit. https://www.washington.edu/news/2023/07/31/heliolinc3d/
