Day 1 is a wrap on our collaboration’s virtual sprint. Lots of good conversation and discussion #lsstsssc

[LSST Solar System Science Collaboration @lsstsssc]

Our virtual sprint kicks off today (June 22nd, 24th, and 29th) #SSSCSprint https://t.co/OYKm3gKE5p

[NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory @VRubinObs]

Rubin Observatory is a massive astronomy project built by real people with all kinds of professional skills and personal interests! We want to introduce you to some of the people helping make @VRubinObs a reality—watch this space to meet members of the #RubinTeam.

Progress on @VRubinObs continues in multiple locations--read the latest updates in the Rubin News Digest at https://t.co/b1TolEA9IB #NSFScience

Just kicked off the #SSSCCNotes mini-workshop https://t.co/j8nyngqryL

People, I did a thing. It doesn't always happen these days, so it's nice when it does. (also if this is something related to what you'd like to look more info, because you want to do LSST survey strategy stuff, I'll put the relevant notebooks on github)

Our next #SATCON1 speaker is @fedhere to tell us about the great science @VRubinObs will do and how satellites will affect ... well, everything. She is first addressing the time domain, which includes things like transient (e.g. supernova) alerts and finding near-earth asteroids.

[Meredith Rawls @merrdiff]

@fedhere @VRubinObs Federica ended by reiterating that the LSST Science Collaborations do work for free - any astronomer can join one (or more), but they bring their own time, resources, and funds. Asking them to also do satellite mitigation work for free is a big ask. #SATCON1

We affirm that #blacklivesmatter. Our collaboration’s leadership has sent the following statement in our June newsletter to all SSSC members.

We’re hearing about @lsstsssc who will be spending 10 years researching our outer Solar System from 2022 and exploring the possibility of Planet 9 @megschwamb @club_galway #galwayastrofest

[NOIRLab @NOIRLabAstro]

To be clear, LSST will remain as the name of the survey & the NSF Vera C. Rubin Observatory is now the name of the entire observatory. More details coming soon in our #NSFOIRLab press release. In the meantime, visit the LSST website: https://t.co/WFhEfoz6A3 #aas235 #NSFastronomy

[NOIRLab @NOIRLabAstro]

Poised to conduct a vast, deep astronomical survey of the dynamic Universe, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will now be named the NSF Vera C. Rubin Observatory. Read more in our #NSFOIRLab press release: https://t.co/0xasXpDHFT #NSFastronomy #discovertogether

If you're at #aas235 you won't want to miss the @LSST Open House TONIGHT (Mon. Jan 6) at 5:30 p.m. in Room 301A. Rumor has it there'll be some BIG NEWS shared….

[NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory @VRubinObs]

It's time to start installing the Telescope Mount Assembly (TMA) in the @LSST summit facility building—how will we protect the TMA from weather since the dome is not enclosed? With a really big tent! This sturdy tent was installed (inside the dome structure) in late November.
