Episode Description from the Publisher

The Vera Rubin Observatory has begun operations in Chile, aiming to photograph the entire southern sky every four days with an ultra-powerful telescope and a 3,200-megapixel camera. Named after pioneering astronomer Vera Rubin, the observatory will help track asteroids, monitor changing celestial objects, and discover billions of galaxies — offering new clues about the universe’s structure, dark matter, and our cosmic origins. Want to know more about the Vera Rubin Observatory?https://www.lsst.org Technical paper from 1979 showing Vera Rubin and collaborators results about rotational curves in spiral galaxies and its consequenceshttps://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1978ApJ...225L.107R/abstract
