Vera C. Rubin Observatory begins 10-year cosmic survey; cyborg cockroaches get diving suits

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has officially begun its 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), aiming to create a comprehensive, high-definition time-lapse record of the universe. This ambitious project, utilizing the world's largest digital camera, will capture vast amounts of data daily to deepen our understanding of cosmology, dark energy, and dark matter. In parallel, researchers have developed a specialized diving suit for cyborg cockroaches, enabling them to explore underwater environments for extended periods, potentially aiding in search and rescue operations.
