Time Domain Astronomy - Making A Movie of the Universe - Livestream

A new observatory is being constructed to conduct an unprecedented survey of space and time over half the sky and far back into the history of our Universe. The result of ten years of observations will be a digital movie that captures the dynamism of creation to address fundamental questions in four science areas: probing dark matter and dark energy; getting the most complete inventory of the solar system ever done; exploring the transient sky; and mapping the Milky Way.

In this talk, we will summarize why scientists think they can achieve such a bold vision with just one observatory, assess what questions can be answered, and show how a diverse, worldwide community of citizen scientists will join in the quest.
