Big-Data Astronomy

Modern surveys have turned astronomy into a data-intensive science. Gaia charts over a billion stars, the Rubin Observatory's LSST will image the whole southern sky every few nights, and the Square Kilometre Array will generate data faster than any prior instrument — forcing new ways to store, move, and analyse information at petabyte scale.
