It's incredible to think how much the incoming cohorts of grad students will have to work with - tbr (time before Rubin) will feel like such a different era

This gives the telescope ENORMOUS light-collecting power while being compact! 🔆
The primary mirror is 8.4 m in diameter – taller than the height of a two-story house. Yet, the telescope also has a compact design so it's fast enough to cover the entire visible sky in just a few nights.

I'm excited about the amazing #multi-messenger #gravitational-lensing discoveries that we can make by working together across communities in the coming years. @ligo.org, @vrubinobs.bsky.social, @einsteintelescope.bsky.social, @lsstuk.bsky.social, @unibirmingham.bsky.social, and more..
