Dr. Steven Kahn

Dr. Steven Kahn, an experimental astrophysicist and former director of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, delves into the groundbreaking capabilities of the new telescope in Chile. He explains how its massive digital camera will capture a time-lapse 'movie' of the night sky, enabling the detection of countless galaxies and transient events. Kahn also discusses the challenges of constructing such an advanced facility, its mission to explore dark matter and energy, and how citizen scientists can get involved in unraveling the mysteries of our universe.
