New Science Paradigm for Astronomy
![Page 11: New Frontiers in Astronomy](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042609/568bf2161a28ab8933956b8b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Astronomy is changing
Old days: photographic plates
1960: astronomical goes digital
Instruments collect 100 GB/night
Detectors follow Moore’s Law
Total data doubles every 2 years
Growth over 25 years is a factor of 30 in glass, 3000 in pixels

Challenges for the Future
Space is big!For one picture you need
a 2 Trillion pixels camera!
Monochrome : 4 Terabytes or
5% of the Library of Congress
Color: 100 Terabytes or
the 21% more than the entire Library of Congress
Time: 10 Petabytesor
120 times the entireLibrary of Congress
New analysis & visualization tools are required

Adapt or Perish
Google Earth, Microsoft Virtual Earth have revolutionized the way we look at our planet.
We proposed a new synergistic approach to the challenge of bringing the universe to our desktops

New Science Paradigm Problems
• Technology is trumping science
• Many distributed services are unreliable
• Little idea of what users are doing and why
• Complex, difficult to use
• Moving data around is hard
• Hard for user to publish their own data
![Page 18: New Frontiers in Astronomy](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042609/568bf2161a28ab8933956b8b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Challenges•Reduce obstacles to Capturing, Organizing, Summarizing, Analyzing, Visualizing, and Curating
•Consider data and algorithms as “the product”
•Adopt semantic technologies to enable automated metadata tagging, clustering and mining
•Transition to the new astronomy• Sociological issues

New Science Paradigm:Science 2.0

•We must partner with other academic disciplines: Computer Science, Statistics, ...
•We must leverage partnerships with industry interested in enabling Science 2.0
•We must remember that we have the coolest datasets in the world (universe really)
