The observatory is named for Vera Rubin, an American astronomer who pioneered discoveries about galactic rotation rates. The Rubin Observatory will house the Simonyi Survey Telescope, [14] a wide-field reflecting telescope with an 8.4-meter primary mirror [9] [10] that will photograph the entire available sky every few nights.
