The Telescopes Promising Insight into Universe's Origins

September
28Sept2015 This video was produced by BBC and features LSST and other projects.

As India launches its first space telescope, BBC News looks at some of the innovations getting astronomers excited. The world's current telescopes - both on the ground and in space - have expanded our understanding of the universe and provided some remarkable images of our own galaxy and beyond. But over the next decade a new generation of incredibly powerful observatories are to be built which will allow us to study further into the universe and with far greater clarity.

Financial support for Rubin Observatory comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through Cooperative Agreement No. 1258333, the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science under Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515, and private funding raised by the LSST Corporation. The NSF-funded Rubin Observatory Project Office for construction was established as an operating center under management of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA).  The DOE-funded effort to build the Rubin Observatory LSST Camera (LSSTCam) is managed by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC).
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 to promote the progress of science. NSF supports basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future.
NSF and DOE will continue to support Rubin Observatory in its Operations phase. They will also provide support for scientific research with LSST data.
