Last week, the Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile officially opened its doors—ready to dazzle us with breathtaking cosmic photos! 🌌✨ We’ve been spoiled by space telescopes like Hubble and JWST, which tackle specific tasks in wavelengths our eyes can’t even see. Those stunning pics we love? Just digital magic transforming invisible images into vibrant colors!

But this ground-based telescope is a game-changer. Dubbed the world’s largest digital camera, it primarily captures visible light while also nabbing some near-IR and UV shots. 📸 With an 8.4-meter mirror and a whopping 3.2-gigapixel sensor, it's got some serious size!

Now we get to enjoy the universe in real colors and jaw-dropping detail. Want to geek out over the science behind it? Check it out here! 🔍👇
