Astro Vlog: Visiting Rubin Observatory
Channel: James Davenport
Date: 2023-10-28

We had a special opportunity to travel to Chile this week. Visiting Vera C. Rubin Observatory, which will run the LSST project, has been a dream for years! This is my first time visiting a big telescope. Even though I'm an astronomer who worked at a telescope, I felt like an excited tourist up on the mountain! WOW!
