For years, astronomers involved with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory have said that their purpose is nothing less than creating the greatest cosmic movie ever made.

Now, more than a decade after construction of the observatory began on a Chilean mountaintop, the first test frames of that movie are in.

Its outer skin is clad in aluminum panels, each perforated with a flowing pattern inspired by ceremonial shawls. The panels curve gently around the structure, lined by a fringe of stainless-steel beads that tremble in the wind. The beads catch the light and make a quiet, persistent music.
