  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

YouTube Description:

As India launches its first space telescope, BBC News looks at some of the innovations getting astronomers excited. The world's current telescopes - both on the ground and in space - have expanded our understanding of the universe and provided some remarkable images of our own galaxy and beyond. But over the next decade a new generation of incredibly powerful observatories are to be built which will allow us to study further into the universe and with far greater clarity.

A friend of mine is a PhD student in Astronomy and he sometimes observes at Arecibo in Puerto Rico (a single radio telescope). And his collaboration will generate so much data that it's faster and cheaper to send by mail on external hard drives than through any sort of network!

sorry... generate 10x more data than all internet traffic today... i remembered it first as generate 10x more internet traffic.

Still surprisingly a lot, but not shocking me like thinking they were planning on putting 10x more data on the net than currently is.
