The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is a proposed ground-based
8.4-meter, 10 square-degree-field telescope that will provide digital
imaging of faint astronomical objects across the entire sky, night
after night.

Google is part of the team and will work on organizing the massive
amount of data.
