Dr. Sarah Greenstreet: Vera C. Rubin Observatory | EXOQUEST Archives

EXOQUEST Archives: The science-based search for interstellar artifacts and the origins of the universe. We interview Dr. Sarah Greenstreet regarding the NSF/DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory and its mission to conduct the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). While traditional astronomy focuses on static images, the Rubin Observatory will produce a 10-year, high-definition "movie" of the universe, uncovering the dynamic and anomalous nature of our sky. NOTE: This previously unreleased EXOQUEST interview with Dr. Sarah Greenstreet was taped late 2024, prior to Vera Rubin Observatory's first light, and 3I/ATLAS crossing our solar system. We deep-dive into the HOW: exploring a 3,200-megapixel camera capable of resolving a golf ball from 15 miles away and a telescope mount assembly that moves 220 tons faster than a human can run. Dr. Greenstreet explains how this unprecedented data set will help identify the next 'Oumuamua or Borisov and potentially locate the theoretical Planet Nine. KEY TOPICS COVERED: The Hardware: The technical specifications of the world's largest digital camera and its three-mirror optical design. Real-Time Discovery: How the system generates 10 million alerts per night, identifying any changes in the sky within 60 seconds. Interstellar Interceptors: The European Space Agency (ESA) concept for a spacecraft waiting in "hibernation" to rendezvous with interstellar visitors. Cosmic Census: Mapping 17 billion stars in the Milky Way and discovering 20 billion new galaxies. The Unorthodox: Searching for Planet Nine and studying asteroids on "retrograde" orbits that defy standard solar system models. Curious. Rigorous. Unafraid. SUBSCRIBE to the archive. When we have proof, this is the library you’ll need.
