Summary

edit
Description
English: In tandem with the 8.4-meter Simonyi Survey Telescope on Cerro Pachón, a smaller telescope will also be assembled on nearby calibration hill, a short distance away from the main observatory Facility. This telescope is an existing telescope (previously known as the Calypso Telescope) that has been repurposed for its role with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and was generously donated to the project in 2008 by its proprietor, astrophysicist and entrepreneur Edgar Smith. It will provide important complementary data for the Rubin Observatory throughout survey operations.Links A 360-degree panorama version of this image can be found here.
