ALT Rubin Observatory in a golden sunset, with silver dome glinting in the setting sun's light. We see the observatory's long white service building and vertical silver dome such that the white service building appears pointed slightly to our left. To the left, the brilliantly setting sun glows bright orange, illuminating the landscape in a golden glow. The Chilean desert mountain ridges become more and more opaque as they recede into the distance, creating a layered look.

ALT A black and white photo of astronomer Vera Rubin standing at the eyepiece of a large telescope. The background is a teal-hued landscape in the dry Chilean mountains. In the bottom third, text reads "U.S. Mint American Women Quarters Program. Dr. Vera Rubin is now on a U.S. quarter!" To the right of the text is an image of the Vera Rubin quarter.
ALT A sunset scene with Rubin Observatory. On the left is the boot-shaped observatory atop its Chilean mountain peak. The wavy mountains in background are increasingly lighter hues of purple as the air scatters light, and the orange hue of sunset fills the clear sky above. The bright yellow orb of the setting sun hangs above the mountains at the right.
