You spin us right 'round!

NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory scientists at #AAS247 just announced the discovery of a record-breaking asteroid over 500m in size that spins once every ~2 minutes 🤯😵💫

It’s the fastest-rotating asteroid this big ever found! 🔭🧪☄️

Spectacular! A trail of celestial objects spans this view of the Virgo Cluster.

Dominating the scene is NGC 4261, a massive elliptical galaxy in the upper half of the image. In the lower left sits the lenticular galaxy NGC 4281.

Behind them rises the large white dish of the South Pole Telescope and the snow-covered research station. Credit: B. Benson/University of Chicago and Fermilab. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory sits on a dark mountain ridge under a brilliantly detailed band of the Milky Way, stretching across the sky in shades of gold, brown, and white. The observatory’s white dome is illuminated faintly, with red and green light glowing from windows near its base. Credit: The Vera C.
