My computer is full of Stars!

And galaxies! On thursday my colleague Richard (www.boakes.org) pointed me to http://www.great08challenge.info/  Apparently he studied cosmology before completing his Phd in the Semantic Web and still has an interest in it.

So far I've downloaded the small sets of data. The full set is around 100gb of compressed fits images so will take a while on my rather slow BT connection, not to mention exceed my 30gb cap...  I have not looked at the data yet and will need to construct or download a fits viewer.
