Ceres is working on creating a GUI interface for large stream analysis for all-sky astronomical measurements. We hope to build tools that will be useful in the big data revolution for astronomy so that researchers can better understand the formation of our solar system and its place in the universe.

Through the use of all sky surveys, astronomers all over the world collect and store data related to both large and small bodies in space. It is their goal to gain knowledge over the formation of both our solar system and the universe through these surveys. However, as technology has been advancing, the amount of data being collected has increased significantly. And soon there will be no manual way to analyze all of the data that is collected.

Our goal is to develop tools necessary for the analysis of these large streams of data. That is we want to make a web based interface for analyzing and querying these large sets of data. In the above video, we outlined the project itself and our process for working with our clients to both collect and develop the requirements needed for the web interface we are going to create. This will make the ingestion, management, and analysis of these all sky surveys possible as the big data revolution comes to astronomy.
