View of the back end of the massive LSST Camera, which is a golden metal tube with lots of cables sticking out. Text reads "It produces an enormous amount of data Produce una enorme cantidad de datos Every night, Rubin will generate about 10 terabytes of data. Cada noche, Rubin generará unos 10 terabytes de datos."

A glittering tapestry of thousands of stars and galaxies of varying sizes, shapes, and colors. There is a large, smooth looking elliptical galaxy at upper right. Text reads "It's incredibly sensitive. Tiene una sensibilidad extraordinaria. Coupled with an 8.4-meter telescope, one 30-second exposure reveals objects that are tens of millions times fainter than the human eye can see. En combinación con su telescopio de 8,4 metros, una exposición de 30 segundos permite detectar objetos decenas de millones de veces más tenues de lo que puede ver el ojo humano."

A roiling nebula scene with clouds of pink gas and dark lans of dust. Stars of varying colors are scattered throughout. Text reads "Rubin's First Look on June 23, 2025 showcased the LSST Camera's incredible capabilities. Durante la presentación de las imágenes de Primera Luz de Rubin, reveladas el 23 de junio de 2025, se demostraron las impresionantes capacidades de la Cámara LSST. It revealed millions of galaxies and stars, and thousands of asteroids, in just hours of observations over the course of several nights. En solo unas horas de observación —repartidas a lo largo de varias noches-Rubin reveló millones de estrellas y galaxias, y miles de asteroides."

A glittering tapestry of thousands of stars and galaxies of varying sizes, shapes, and colors. Text reads "The LSST Camera will capture over two million images for the decade-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time. La Cámara LSST captará más de dos millones de imagenes para la Investigación del Espacio-Tiempo como Legado para la posteridad, que se realizará durante una década. These images will create an ultra-HD time-lapse movie of the changing Universe, tracking everything from asteroids to supernovae and revealing billions of stars and distant galaxies. Con estas imágenes, se creará una película en cámara rápida y ultra-HD del Universo en constante cambio, que permitirá seguir desde asteroides hasta supernovas y revelar miles de millones de estrellas y galaxias lejanas."
