SkyAlert collects and distributes reports of astronomical transients in near-real time. When looking deeply and frequently, the sky is full of explosions and movement. Examples of such transients include Supernovae, Cataclysmic Variables, Gamma-ray Bursts, and Blazar Eruption, and the discovery rate of such transients is increasing rapidly as new surveys come online.
