Asteroids galore and some neat pic's.

Thousands of new asteroids spotted within the Rubin Observatory's first hours of operation.

After a very brief pass at the sky, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory has already photographed thousands of objects no other telescope has seen before.

In just 10 hours of observations across seven different nights, the observatory discovered 2,104 brand-new asteroids in the Solar System.

It also snapped a cool 10 million distant galaxies, as well as gleaming nebulas and flashing stars in high-definition videos released overnight......

Cheers.

Wow!

I think before it was a tendious business even to automatically identify anomalous movements of (presumed) stars in pairs of photographs from the same sky region, sufficiently many days... or months... apart.
