In the coming decade, LSST';s combination of all-sky coverage, consistent long-term monitoring, and flexible criteria for event identification will revolutionize studies of a wide variety of astrophysical phenomena. The umbrella of time domain science with LSST encompasses objects both familiar and exotic, from classical variables within our Galaxy to explosive cosmological events. LSST will make localization for gravity wave events possible, identify counterparts to GRBs and X-ray flashes, and discover new supernovae. Increased sample sizes of known-but-rare observational phenomena will quantify their distributions for the first time, thus challenging existing theory. Perhaps most excitingly, LSST will provide the opportunity to sample previously untouched regions of parameter space, where transient events are expected on theoretical grounds, but have not yet been observed. LSST will generate "alerts" within 60 seconds of detecting a new transient, permitting the community t o follow up unusual events in greater detail. Here, I highlight some of the scientific opportunities LSST will provide, as well as the challenges we face and opportunities for community involvement.
