Big, Bigger, Huge Data Challenges in Astronomy
Astronomy is fundamentally a discovery science that provides essential clues to our understanding of the inner workings of the Universe. The new generation of powerful observatories will be the biggest civil data engines ever.
Accumulating data in the zettabyte (1^21 byte) regime will open up the discovery space for new physics and to access, manipulate, analyse, and visualise even small parts of such datasets is a major challenge.
Our guest will provide an overview of big data in astronomy, the data challenges, the upcoming observatories like the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), and elaborate on the opportunity of a German data centre.
