Play Video: What astronomy's biggest camera yet will reveal about our universe

Every few nights from its perch in Chile, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will take a snapshot of the entire southern sky, enabling astronomers to look for objects – new asteroids, exploding stars – that have changed in the interim. As these images build up over ten years, they will also create a sharp and deep map of the universe that could shed light on mysterious dark matter and dark energy. Staff reporter Daniel Clery made the journey from England to Chile to see what it took to make this massive telescope operational. 0:00 Introduction 1:37 Rubin's perch in Chile 2:08 A tour of the facility: the control room 3:11 The clean room 3:53 A glimpse under the telescope 4:14 Seeing Rubin in motion 5:18 An innovative mirror system 5:52 Camera sensor 6:25 How Rubin's data is shared around the world 7:14 Rare astronomical objects Rubin could unveil 8:08 Understanding galaxies better 8:58 Enhancing our understand of dark energy 9:36 Potential obstacles for observation 10:05 When to expect results Read the story: https://www.science.org/content/article/giant-all-seeing-telescope-set-revolutionize-astronomy

Killer whales (Orcinus orca ater) may be the first marine mammals known to make a tool, a new study shows. In the Salish Sea off the coast of British Columbia and Washington, whales bite off small stalks of kelp with their teeth. The whales then press the piece into a partner and roll the stalk between their bodies, possibly to help remove dead skin. Video Credit: Center for Whale Research, NMFS NOAA Permit 27038

This computer simulation shows two neutron stars of unequal mass spiraling toward one another. When they merge, they collapse into a black hole. The lighter star gets ripped apart, and its guts form a disk of matter that surrounds the celestial body. The disk and black hole’s rotation results in a huge magnetic field that launches a bidirectional jet of high energy matter along the rotational axis. Video Credit: K.
