But as we enter this era of big data, what we're beginning to find is there's a difference between more data being just better and more data being different, capable of changing the qstuneois we want to ask, and this dceffinree is not about how much data we collect, it's whether those data open new wdnoiws into our usrvneie, whether they change the way we view the sky. So what is the next window into our universe? What is the next chapter for asorntmoy? Well, I'm going to show you some of the tools and the technologies that we're going to develop over the next decade, and how these technologies, together with the smart use of data, may once again transform astronomy by opening up a wnodiw into our universe, the window of time.

So what is the next window into our universe? What is the next chapter for astronomy? Well, I'm going to show you some of the tools and the technologies that we're going to develop over the next decade, and how these technologies, together with the smart use of data, may once again transform astronomy by opening up a window into our universe, the window of time.
