Mining the Southern Sky

南方巡天计划将在天文学方面取得重大的、备受瞩目的发现，范围从理解冥王星等天体到发现遥远宇宙中的第一个黑洞。这些突破将激发潜在的年轻科学家和技术专家的想象力，并将引导澳大利亚人在这些重要领域开展研究。为了实现我们的发现，我们将创建并服务于澳大利亚最大的公开数据库。这将通过培训相当数量的澳大利亚年轻人使用海量数据集、数据操纵和解决问题来创造经济和科学利益。

The Southern Sky Survey will make significant, high profile discoveries in Astronomy ranging from understanding objects like Pluto, to discovering the first black holes in the distant Universe. These breakthroughs will capture the imagination of potential young scientists and technologists, and will lead Australians to undertaking studies in these vital areas. To achieve our discoveries, we will create and serve Australia's largest publicly available database. This will create economic and scientific benefits by training a significant number of young Australians in using massive data sets, data manipulation, and problem solving.
