  Named in honor of pioneering astronomer Vera C. Rubin, NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory will create a time-lapse view of the universe unlike any other by recording every visible change in the southern sky with unparalleled completeness, detail and speed. Rubin Observatory is expected to yield a staggering number of new discoveries: over 17 billion Milky Way stars, about 20 billion galaxies and around 10 million supernovas (over a thousand per night), plus millions of asteroids and untold numbers of comets and interstellar objects.
