The Milky Way arcs over and behind this view looking up at Rubin's shiny silver dome toward a starry night sky.
Alerts from NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory have been flowing for about a week...how many have there been?? 🚨
So far, Rubin has generated....drumroll please🥁
~1.7 million world-public alerts!
That's ~1.7 MILLION objects that changed in brightness or position in just seven nights 🤯

The future of semiconductor manufacturing is no longer dependent just on shrinking features. Instead, chipmakers are rethinking how devices are built, stacked, and powered.

A single NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory image will reveal thousands of changing objects in the night sky, from supernovae and variable stars to active black holes and wandering asteroids. This infographic shows approximately how many of each type of object scientists expect to find in each Rubin image. Credit: NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory/NOIRLab/SLAC/AURA
The sheer volume of data coming from the new Rubin Observatory is staggering. In *one* night it issued 800,000 alerts, indicating something that changed in the sky: a moving asteroid, variable star, supernova, etc.
Rubin will be an astonishing discovery machine. 🔭🧪
