- **Event Description**: Join us for an evening of learning and conversations with UW astronomers!About this EventWe’re at the brink of a new age of survey-driven discovery in astronomy. Where before we could only study a handful of objects at a time, new detectors, algorithms, and telescopes will soon allow us – and the entire world – to monitor billions.The Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), the most comprehensive opticalastronomical sky survey ever undertaken, will obtain panoramic images of the night sky every clear nightfor ten years, starting this year. The resulting 60 petabytes of imaging data, essentially a digital colormovie of the night sky, will include about 20 billion galaxies and a similar number of stars, and will beused for investigations ranging from cataloging potentially dangerous near-Earth asteroids to fundamentalphysics such as characterization of dark matter and dark energy. Prof. Ivezic will describe scientific goals behind thisproject, showcase its early data, and discuss remaining fine tuning of the Observatory in order to start LSST.We hope you can join us for this enriching experience!  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/d409b7e0-39d5-11f1-bd1f-f1e10f03be6f-rimg-w1200-h677-dcc0ab8f-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/d441dee0-39d5-11f1-9ae8-319d9eeeb8a5-rimg-w1109-h740-dc1f1912-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/d489bd50-39d5-11f1-bd1f-f1e10f03be6f-rimg-w1124-h740-dc050404-gmir.jpg Agenda🕑: 06:30 PM - 07:30 PMLecture🕑: 07:30 PM - 08:30 PMPlanetarium Show & Q&A
