Part III Write a summary of about 150 words of the video.
ResponderEliminarThe American company Amazon.com is one of the biggest businesses in the United States and around the world
They are negotiating with Chile to improve the business
amazon plans, generate research thanks to the great satellites present in chile.
They want to further investigate astro data, and use it to generate artificial intelligence.
Plan to take all the information collected and upload it to a network, where it will be saved by a server
But you have to investigate these possibilities even more because you do not know what kind of companies could work on this
Amazon has been in communication with Chile for two years, also Chile provides information to Amazon to be aware of the business of the country
Everything is very quiet, because amazon has not given so much news about this. But professionals in the field think that Chile has a lot of potential in terms of ASTRODATA
Why Chile?
Northern Chile is known for having clear skies, not much rain, and large areas without bright city lights. This makes it a perfect place to observe the night sky.
Powerful telescopes produce large amounts of information about the universe. AWS’s cloud computing program could help to save all this information.
One ministry official, Julio Pertuze spoke at an event announcing Chile’s aim to build a virtual observatory on the cloud.
Amazon’s founder and leader Jeff Bezos is known for his interest in space. His company already provides a cloud platform for data from the Hubble Telescope and the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research in Australia.
The Giant Magellan Telescope is expected to give humans a view of the edge of the universe. The project will cost $1 billion to complete.This should be ready for use in 2024. Scientists hope to be able to collect more light than any telescope ever built. They hope they will be able to see all the way back to the earliest days of the universe.
