Engadget<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

An international team of astronomers have released<\/a> two petabytes of data from the Pan-STARRS project<\/a> that’s also known as the “world’s largest digital sky survey.” Two petabytes of data, according to the team, is equivalent to any of the following: a billion selfies, one hundred Wikipedias or 40 million four-drawer filing cabinets filled with single-spaced text. The scientists spent four years observing three-fourths of the night sky through their 1.8 meter telescope at Haleakala Observatories on Maui, Hawaii, scanning<\/a> three billion objects in the Milky Way 12 times in five different filters. Those objects included stars, galaxies, asteroids and other celestial bodies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wow … this is mind blowing at the very least …<\/p>\n

See the image above? That’s the result of half a million 45-second exposures taken over four years. They’re releasing even more detailed images and data in 2017 — for now, you can check out what the team released to the public on the official Pan-STARRS<\/a> website.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
