The Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile is about to change how we see the Universe. Join us for this online talk to find out how, each night over the next decade, it will spot millions of objects that move or change brightness—helping scientists learn more about dark matter, galaxy formation, our Solar System, and the history of the Milky Way. 

This talk will introduce the observatory and share the exciting discoveries we can expect from this groundbreaking project. 

Registration will open via the link below in March 2026.
