Before image

Caption

A simulated image to match the parameters of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). To simulate the image, researchers took high-resolution, atmosphere-free images from the Hubble Space Telescope (in the COSMOS dataset), simulated the atmospheric effects using a software package called GalSim with LSST parameters plugged in, and then downsampled to the lower resolution of the LSST.
