Lights, camera, action!
The world's largest digital camera has been installed at NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory! 🤩
The LSST Camera was the final major component of the observatory. With it in place, Rubin officially enters its final phase of testing!🔭

When headline writers say things like “defies known science” or “should be impossible” or “baffles scientists” they’re feeding an attitude that scientific results should all be taken as not just contingent, but completely meaningless. It breeds distrust or even contempt toward science & scientists

Photons, meet the Commissioning Camera 🤝
On October 24, Rubin staff successfully completed the first end-to-end on-sky test of the full telescope system using the testing camera — from capturing the sky to transferring data to SLAC! 🔭🧪

Excited to unveil our new project, DistClassiPy - it went up on arXiv today!
arxiv.org/abs/2403.12120
We used distance metrics to classify astrophysical light curves, but you can use it for your data too!
