Every night, the telescope will take a thousand images, one every 34 seconds. After three or four nights, it\u2019ll have the entire southern sky covered, and then it\u2019ll start all over again. After a decade, Rubin will have taken more than 2 million images, generated 500 petabytes of data, and visited every object it can see at least 825 times. In addition to identifying an estimated 6 million bodies in our solar system, 17 billion stars in our galaxy, and 20 billion galaxies in our universe, Rubin\u2019s rapid cadence means that it will be able to delve into the time domain, tracking how the entire southern sky changes on an almost daily basis.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
