Rundown begins — Rubin alerts, magnets, Rapa Nui, baby chicks

41:36allows us to talk about other breaking science research that we find interesting. We're going to start with a follow-up to a story we covered in episode 4, one of our early stories about the the Verse Rubin Observatory. Um, it has now launched its real-time discovery engine. So, this is now about 8 months later. Yeah. And it's a pretty major update. >> Yeah. Yeah. This one's insane because the Very Rubin Observatory is unlike any other observatory um out there because it's this giant thing where astronomers cannot get time on it, right? Usually usually when there's an observatory and you you're like, "Oh, like in the last story, hey, I want to look at this candidate dark

And they're going to decide from all the applications who is going to get time to look at what. The Vericy Rubin Observatory is an observatory that is just taking a photo of the entire night sky every three nights. That is its job like clockwork. Um fully automated and that's all it's doing. It's not focusing on particular things. That's what it's doing. And what that means is it's going to find a lot of data every night. there's going to be
