SUMMARY:Curious Village
DESCRIPTION:Join this  in-person group for a lively discussion and presentation each month  hosted by Belmont Village on Fullerton in Lincoln Park\, all are welcome! \nThis month’s presentation but special guest Chris Murray will be devoted to the Vera Rubin Observatory\, it’s telescope\, camera\, and the science that will be enabled by the 10 year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Whereas the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) narrowly focuses on the early universe and its evolution\, LSST is exactly the opposite.  LSST will image and catalog literally billions of celestial objects (stars\, galaxies\, asteroids\, comets\, supernovae\, and objects that have never yet been seen)\, This is a technical accomplishment on the order of JWST including the largest digital camera ever constructed.  LSST will provide science data for literally thousands of research projects decades into the future.  Unlike other research telescopes that provide data only to the project sponsors\, each image taken by LSST (one very 30 seconds for ten years and covering the entire southern hemisphere\, will be available to anyone in the world literally within hours.  The amount of data collected over the life of the project will exceed by orders of magnitude any other project in the history of science. Prepare to  be amazed.
