Event Information:
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) began its time-domain survey at Palomar Observatory in 2018. Thanks to its 47 square degree field of view and fast readout time, ZTF has since accumulated hundreds to thousands of epochs across the Northern Hemisphere sky, enabling searches for rare and fast evolving transients, variable stars, and solar system objects. I will describe the design and performance of ZTF and detail the surveys it has conducted. I will present science highlights from the first two years of the survey, including observations of young supernovae and discoveri
