Explosive astrophysical events are critical to understand what the Universe is made of and its physics. This project aims to single out the most exciting exploding stars and extreme events out of the millions detected each night at the world’s largest optical telescope. It will magnify Australian leadership and optimise investment in astronomical facilities by obtaining unique information before these events fade forever. Expected outcomes include improved knowledge on the nature of exploding stars and the discovery of new events and physical processes. It will benefit the Australian community at large by training young Australians in data-intensive technologies required to lead ground-breaking research and advance our innovative economy.

爆炸性天体物理事件对于了解宇宙的构成及其物理学至关重要，该项目旨在从世界上最大的光学望远镜每晚检测到的数百万颗爆炸恒星和极端事件中挑选出最令人兴奋的恒星爆炸和极端事件，这将扩大澳大利亚的领导地位。通过在这些事件永远消失之前获取独特的信息来优化对天文设施的投资。预期成果包括提高对爆炸恒星性质的了解以及发现新的事件和物理过程。这将使整个澳大利亚社会受益。年轻的澳大利亚人需要掌握数据密集型技术，以引领突破性研究并推动我们的创新经济。
