Rubin observatory peers deep into the famous COSMOS field
The COSMOS field, or Cosmic Evolution Survey Deep Field, is one of the most famous patches of the universe observed by astronomers.
AI Summary
The Rubin Observatory has begun imaging the COSMOS field, a well‑studied patch of sky in the constellation Sextans. The COSMOS field, also known as the Cosmic Evolution Survey Deep Field, was originally photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope’s Advanced Camera for Surveys between 2003 and 2005. Those Hubble images were combined with data from ground‑based and other space telescopes to produce a detailed view of cosmic evolution. The new Rubin observations aim to deepen and extend this legacy survey.
