Rubin at sunset

Aerial view of Rubin Observatory in October 2023 with a spectacular sunset in the background.

Alt text: Rubin Observatory in a golden sunset, with its silver dome glinting in the light of the setting Sun. We see the observatory's long white service building and vertical silver dome such that the white service building appears pointed slightly to our left. To the left, the brilliantly setting Sun glows bright orange, illuminating the landscape in a golden glow. The Chilean desert mountain ridges become more and more opaque as they recede into the distance, creating a layered look.
