How Will Astronomy Archives Survive the Data Tsunami?: Astronomers are collecting more data than ever. What practices can keep them ahead of the flood?
Programming LanguagesAstronomy is already awash with data: currently 1 PB of public data is electronically accessible, and this volume is growing at 0.5 PB per year. The availability of this data has already transformed research in astronomy, and the STScI now reports that ...
