Happy Birthday card to Gérard de Vaucouleurs, from Vera Rubin.
Gérard de Vaucouleurs (1918-1995), born on this day, was a pioneer in the field of extragalactic cosmography (discovery of the Local Supercluster), and many others fields of astronomy, including the study of Mars!

Happy Birthday to Vera Rubin, born OTD in Philadelphia in 1928
Here's to her first paper, presented, when she was a Master student, at the Winter Meeting of the AAS (Haverford 1950), in which she pioneered the study of galaxies' peculiar velocities!

The Rubin Observatory Simonyi Survey Telescope consists of 3 aspheric mirrors: an 8.4-m primary mirror M1, a 3.5-m convex secondary mirror M2, and a 5.0-m tertiary mirror M3.
The primary and tertiary mirrors, which were coated on April 27, are fabricated from a single piece of glass.
The secondary mirror (M2) is the largest convex mirror ever made.
Field of view = 3.5°.
The 3.2-gigapixel camera hangs below the secondary mirror.

Can you spot the newly named Rubin Crater?
hint: latitude -83°, longitude 78°
Rubin Crater
a crater of the Moon has been officially named in honor of astronomer Vera Rubin
It is located in the lunar south polar region of high research and exploration interest.
