The oxymoron in the title encapsulates the author's claim
that the most boring of all astronomical disciplines,
the precise measurement of stellar positions, is on
the threshold of a delivering fundamental data such
as parallaxes and proper motions (or at least upper limits) for billions of stars. The presentation will include brief summaries of the history of and the science drivers for astrometry, and then proceed with the details of the scope, accuracy, and techniques for surveys such as Pan-STARRS, SkyMapper, and LSST.
Hosted by: Rachid Nouicer and John Haggerty
