Coming online in 2025, the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory's enormous, unrelenting eye on the sky will create the biggest, most data-rich movie ever made — a 10-year, high-precision chronicle of trillions of cosmic events and objects across space and time.
A recently installed prototype detector at CERN was forged by Aggie hands, fabricated and installed by UC Davis undergraduate and graduate students in Matthew Citron’s research group.
