Part II Answer these questions.
Eliminar1. What is Amazon hoping to store and mine?
Amazon is hoping to store and mine what is called astrodata, that is information gathered by the telescopes.
2.Why is Northern Chile considered a perfect place to observe the night sky?
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.
3.When will Chile's Large Synoptic Survey Telescope be fully operational?
The Giant Magellan Telescope 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.
4. How much more accurate will the Giant Magellan Telescope be than the Hubble Space Telescope?
The huge device will have seven round mirrors that will be 24 meters around. The telescope and its computer will make the Giant Magellan Telescope 10 times as accurate as the American space agency’s Hubble Space Telescope.

EliminarAmazon is an incredible and one of the biggest enterprises in the world. It was founded by Jeff Bezos. The information exposed that in Chile, there is a great quantity of astronomical data because of the existence of one of the most powerful telescopes that has been created, so, the big enterprise is very interesting in the exploitation of the data, and it's negotiating with Chile's government to mine this astrodata collected by Chileans telescopes to develop artificial intelligence (A.I) . Furthermore, one of the main factors that influence that capacity of data recollection from the universe, is that a seventy percent of the money has been spent on astronomy in this country (Chile). On the other hand, Chile has
weather conditions that benefit the recollection of data from the universe, for example,clear skies or not much rain. So, basically, Jeff Bezos´enterprise is interesting in the creation of a new telescope. The Giant Magellan Telescope 10 times as accurate as the American space agency’s Hubble Space Telescope and will have seven round mirrors that will be 24 meters around.
