This telescope and its mission to catch changes in the sky over time is going to help discover so many things.

  The reaction will be interesting.

  I love that we're also remembering to take less scoped in to see a wider view. I wonder how many times they will complete the full sky survey. Will there be enough to provide a timelapse from multiple surveys, or will it take the entire scope to complete the full sky? I find some of the timelapse of various objects quite fascinating now that we've been recording observations long enough. Seeing the movement around SagA* is amazing. Just the other day, we saw Cassiopeia A over a couple of decades. Some part of my brain knows things are constantly changing in the universe, but at the time scale it seems strange things are noticeably different within our own lifetimes.

    They will survey the entire sky every week or so. At the end, you can create a nice 60 fps timelapse of many objects in the southern sky.
