🤩 SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory runs a linear particle accelerator. Today, scientists and engineers at SLAC use the accelerator to generate a very powerful X-ray laser. Such a refined X-ray light beam is used to penetrate deep into matter at the molecular and atomic level, and allows scientists to produce "movies" of the behavior of these atoms and molecules. Generally it's very difficult to look at atoms and see how they behave and that's why SLAC built this X-ray laser. Technically it'

🌌 Aaron Roodman is a professor of particle physics and astrophysics and deputy director of the Rubin Observatory. Check out this video where he gives us a sneak peak at the world’s largest digital camera, which will eventually be placed atop the Rubin Observatory Simonyi Survey Telescope. Stay tuned to hear about what kinds of things Aaron is excited to study using #LSST! For more on LSST: https://www6.slac.stanford.edu/lsst | SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
