NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, will soon witness the explosions of millions of dying stars. Scientists use the light from these events to measure cosmic distances and study dark energy’s effect on the Universe’s expansion. Over its 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time, Rubin could change our understanding of how — and when — the Universe formed.
