I guess this is a good time to comment — NASA images are almost entirely made by AI. There I’ve said it again.
The “Rubin” is Vera Rubin. She was one of the most important scientist of the 20th Century. She was the one that discovered the effect that we call “Dark Matter” while measuring the movement of stars in the Andromeda Galaxy.
When she first wanted to be an Astronomer, she was told over and over that she should just go home and be a housewife, except her father. He encouraged her to keep trying, she got her degree and changed the path of cosmology. She was also a Mother and devout Jew.
Does Dark Mater really exist? We still need to study it. But she showed that there was something going on that worked just like Zwicky predicted in the early 20th Century.
How come my cell phone pics just a few yards away of objects here on earth are not as sharp as this galaxy 232 million light-years away?
I wonder what cell phone camera the astronomers use....? : )
