Pan on Trifid (Fulldome format)

This video pans across the Trifid and Lagoon Nebulae, as imaged by NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory. The exquisite detail in the structure of the nebulosity shown here demonstrates the exceptional quality of Rubin’s entire system — from its light-collecting power, to its sensitive camera, to its efficient data transfer and processing system.
