SUMMARY:The ATLAS All-Sky Survey for Dangerous Asteroids
DESCRIPTION:The ATLAS All-Sky Survey for Dangerous Asteroids\nProf. John To
 nry\n\nThe "Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System" (ATLAS) is fund
 ed by NASA to find dangerous asteroids before they strike the Earth. It ha
 s operated from two Hawaii sites since 2015 and will very soon have South 
 Africa and Chile sites to cover the entire visible sky every night four ti
 mes to a limiting magnitude of m~19.5 per exposure. The process of finding
  asteroids leads to auxiliary data products along the way including accura
 te photometry of all stars in the sky and detection of flares and transien
 ts.  I will describe ATLAS, how we approach our NASA mission to find 
 NEOs, how ATLAS fits in with other ongoing or planned surveys, some of the
  data products that are available now, and the many new scientific opportu
 nities that are emerging and waiting to be exploited.  Time will be r
 eserved at the end of the talk for some real time demonstrations: audience
  participation is encouraged.  References include 2018PASP..130f4505T
