The LSST Science Pipelines
##########################
The LSST Science Pipelines enable optical and near-infrared astronomy in the big data era.
We are building the Science Pipelines for the `Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (Rubin’s LSST) `_, but our command-line task and Python API can be extended for any optical or near-infrared dataset.
This documentation covers version |eups-tag-bold|.

You can also find documentation for `other versions `__.
