Rubin Observatory released its first images taken with the world’s largest digital camera on June 23, 2025 (local time). This marks the beginning of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), a large-scale imaging project. Many Japanese researchers, including ones from the Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe (KMI) at Nagoya University and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), are involved in LSST, and new scientific discoveries are expected through collaboration …
