The first test images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory have captured light from millions of distant stars and galaxies, and are expected to reveal thousands of previously unseen asteroids. The observatory is expected to revolutionize our understanding of the universe.
Dark matter detectors designed to spot hypothetical dark matter particles have instead detected a signal from neutrinos produced by the sun. This 'neutrino fog' is both a milestone and a sign that these detectors may soon be overwhelmed by neutrinos, hindering their ability to detect dark matter.
