Observatorium Vera C. Rubin memulai survei kosmik terbesar

Observatorium Vera C. Rubin di Chili telah memulai Legacy Survey of Space and Time, yang dirancang untuk menciptakan catatan alam semesta paling detail yang pernah ada.

Observatorium tersebut menyelesaikan satu tahun pengujian dan kalibrasi sebelum meluncurkan proyek yang akan berlangsung selama satu dekade ini. Observatorium ini akan mengumpulkan sekitar 10 terabyte data setiap malam melalui ratusan gambar beresolusi tinggi. Setiap gambar mencakup area yang luasnya sekitar 40 kali ukuran bulan purnama dan berfokus pada langit bagian selatan. Peringatan dini dari sistem tersebut telah berhasil mengidentifikasi lebih dari 11.000 asteroid baru. Brian Stone dari US National Science Foundation mengatakan, “Hari ini, kita mulai merekam film kosmik terhebat yang pernah dibuat.” Data tersebut akan mendukung studi mengenai objek-objek tata surya, Bima Sakti, serta fenomena kosmik jarak jauh termasuk materi gelap dan energi gelap.

NASA's Artemis II crew became the first humans in over 50 years to loop around the moon's far side on April 6, traveling farther from Earth than any before them. The astronauts captured unprecedented views, including close-ups of craters and a unique solar eclipse. They are now heading back for a splashdown off California on April 10.

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) at Kitt Peak National Observatory has finished its five-year sky survey ahead of schedule, capturing spectra from 47 million galaxies and quasars—six times more than all previous surveys combined—plus 20 million stars. This creates the most detailed high-resolution 3D map of the universe to date, exceeding initial goals of 34 million objects and offering new insights into cosmic structure and potentially weakening dark energy.
