Astronomers have recently unveiled an image of the universe containing more than 500,000 galaxies and 50,000 stars, taken by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. 4 Reviews ← exclude selected types ← exclude selected tagsWhile we know that the universe is vast and contains many galaxies, certain images help us to better understand this fact. This was recently the case with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, which has released an image showing more than 500,000 galaxies. Although it is actually composed of hundreds of stacked images, each image was taken with the 3.2-gigapixel LSST camera, which weighs 3,000 kilograms. Thus, it is possible to see different types of galaxies in this photo, such as spiral and elliptical galaxies.
