A short video that gives an introduction to LSST and the science it will do. Highly recommended!
A detailed article that summarizes many of the scientific investigations that will be possible through LSST.
An overview of the LSST Formal Education Program
Dr. Amanda Bauer's opening presentation about LSST.
These two movies from the Mirror Lab may be downloaded and shared:
