We’re back at Emerald City Comic Con for another journey to the final frontier with “Interstellar Insights: Charting the Cosmos with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and Beyond.” This year we’ve assembled a panel of leading astronomers who will discuss the cutting-edge science and technology behind the Rubin Observatory and its Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Bring your curiosity, your imagination, and your questions—this is your chance to ask the experts and be part of the conversation shaping the future of space exploration.

From mapping billions of stars and distant galaxies, to tracking asteroids, and even searching for signs of extraterrestrial life, Rubin is set to revolutionize the way we see the cosmos. But it’s not just about discovery—it’s about understanding. We’ll discuss how Rubin’s massive datasets will challenge scientists to innovate new algorithms, share insights on the searching for the unknown, and debunk common myths and misinformation about the search for life and cosmic phenomena.

Whether you’re a seasoned science enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this panel will reveal how the Rubin Observatory is boldly going where no telescope has gone before!
