Messengers Of Time And Space with Dr. Alan Strauss! The NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, released its first imagery at an event in Washington, D.C. The imagery shows cosmic phenomena captured at an unprecedented scale. In just over 10 hours of test observations, NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory has already captured millions of galaxies and Milky Way stars and thousands of asteroids. The imagery is a small preview of Rubin Observatory's upcoming 10-year scientific mission to explore and understand some of the Universe's biggest mysteries. In this podcast, Rubin Observatory’s Dr. Alan Strauss discusses the observatory, the first look images and how the public and students can interact with the data. Bios: Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF’s NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. Dr. Alan Strauss is the Head of Education and Public Outreach (EPO), at the NSF-DOE Vera C Rubin Observatory, where he leads an interdisciplinary team of astronomers, writers, designers, educators, and developers building web-based astronomy experiences for students, teachers, and the general public.
