Guest Presentation at Space Place

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), now under construction in Chile, will image the entire southern sky nearly a thousand times over the next decade. LSST is an example of astronomical surveys that map as much of the sky as possible as quickly as possible in order to make a statistical census of the cosmos. Keith Bechtol from UW-Madison Dept. of Physics will discuss the recent technologies that make such surveys possible.
