Rubin Observatory's 8.4-meter mirror is finally, well, a mirror! 🥳

The glass got its shiny coating this past weekend—but what did that actually look like?

Find out in the fifth and final video in our "Making of Rubin's 8.4-meter Mirror" series ✨ 🔭

And we're actively looking for new dwarf satellites of NGC 55 in DELVE-DEEP data. Look out for more on that search soon!
I'm a day late, but I wanted to advertise the latest paper from the DES and DELVE collaborations, led by Mitch McNanna! The paper's results include the discovery of a *very* diffuse (resolved) dwarf galaxy candidate near the LMC-mass host NGC 55 (D ~ 2 Mpc). Read it here:
