Not content to take over the world
Google is looking out to space.
Google will collaborate with LSST (Large Synoptic Survey Telescope) to develop a search engine that can process, organize and analyze the voluminous amounts of data coming from the instrument’s data streams in real time. The engine will create “movie-like windows” for scientists to view significant space events.
In addition to helping astronomers and scientists, Google and LSST are also working on a parallel viewing system for the general public.
