Welcome to Rubin Comet Catchers! Update 3 September 2026: Thanks for your super-FAST comet classifications of Rubin data! Wow! And great news: we unearthed MORE special datasets from Rubin’s Early Data Preview 2 data! By popular demand, we are releasing a limited edition workflow for identifying near-Earth objects (NEOs) in Rubin data! These trailed sources — lovingly called sausages — are important to understand for planetary defense, and they can have comet tails too! And don’t worry, comet fans — we also have new images of Centaurs and other populations coming up or already online! All of these are actual Rubin images that the science team figured out a clever way to get at more science! Just how much and what is in there is up to you to discover… we’re super-excited!

Thanks, everyone, for all your hard work! You can always check out this YouTube video featuring Colin on a show he hosts about the upcoming Rubin Observatory and the Legacy Survey of Space and Time! It features Citizen Science, and Clare Higgs of Rubin Education and Public Outreach presents, too! Thanks again, everyone! We cannot do this without you!
