Messengers of Time and Space
Show Description
With data from powerful new telescopes, like the Rubin Observatory in Chile, groundbreaking astronomical surveys will be able to detect up to 10 million changes across the entire sky in a single night. Every change detected will be analyzed in real time, and some of these events may generate alerts for immediate follow-up and detailed observations by the other observatories around the world, especially Gemini North in Hawaii.
These visual observations combined with additional messengers of time and space, such as cosmic rays, elusive neutrinos, and gravitational waves, will provide astronomers with a greater understanding of changes that occur in the blink of an eye or in slow motion over a much longer period of time.
