New astronomy projects are emerging amid the troves of data new telescopes produce. This session explores the government of Chile's cloud transformation to create a digital platform that provides an interdisciplinary field of study involving astronomy, data science, informatics, and information/communications technologies. These data, including information about light emitted from some of the coldest objects, help astrophysicists explore the universe's greatest secrets. We go beyond examples found in astronomy and provide insights that can be applied across other industry verticals. We also examine the use of Amazon S3, Amazon SageMaker, EC2, Amazon FSx for Lustre, Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, and Amazon Sumerian.

Undestanding Image Capturing Process
Scientific technological development today
allows scientists to design equipment that can
capture a wider range of wavelengths.
Optical telescopes, which observe the light
of the stars and hot gas emission.
Ultraviolet and X-Ray observatories that
study very hot gas and ultra energetic
emission.
Infrared light observatories that study warm
and hot dust.
Radio telescopes that capture radio
emissions from warm and cold matter.
ALMA observes millimetric and
submillimetric radio wavelengths.

38. What ALMA can see …
By observing millimetric wavelengths, ALMA
can see the so called “Cold Universe”,
where planets and galaxies are formed.
ALMA has an unprecedented capability for
discovering the presence and distribution
of molecules in space and can observe,
with high resolution, masses of cold and
warm gas around protoplanets.
By observing the "invisible" ALMA can see
our sun in detail and capture light emitted
by particles rather than light reflected by
them.
Thus, ALMA opens up innumerable
possibilities for astronomical research,
from the discovery of new interstellar
molecules to the mysteries of our cosmic
origins.
