Data deluge
Astronomers bathe in the unprecidented volumes of data produced by modern radio telescopes. Filtering through this data deluge is a challenge for data intensive astronomers and computing specialists.
SKA Data Volumes
It's estimated that the SKA will produce over 250 Petabytes of data each year, but how much is that really? It's equivalent to a stack of books 20 times further than the Moon!
