The Vera C. Rubin Observatory just dropped an epic photo of the COSMOS field, showing off more than 650,000 galaxies and 50,000 stars in one shot.
Taken with a massive 3.2-gigapixel camera, the image covers a patch of sky in the Sextans constellation that's three times bigger than the full Moon.
Some of these galaxies are up to 12 billion light-years away, making this a real cosmic time capsule.
LSST image to study dark matter
This isn't just a pretty picture: it's part of the observatory's huge Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), which will help scientists study dark matter, dark energy, and even track near-Earth asteroids.
The COSMOS field is packed with all kinds of galaxies, from spirals to faint reds billions of light-years out.
These new observations build on work from Hubble and Webb telescopes and could totally change how we map and understand our universe.
