  Space Telescopes - Astronomy and...

  Space telescopes are powerful instruments designed to observe astronomical objects and phenomena from outside the Earth's atmosphere. Unlike ground-based telescopes, which suffer from atmospheric distortion, space telescopes provide a clearer and more detailed view of the universe. They have revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos by capturing images and data across various wavelengths of light, from visible to infrared to ultraviolet and beyond. 
    
  The primary advantage of space telescopes is their ability to operate above the Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere absorbs and scatters light, which limits the capabilities of ground-based observations. By placing telescopes in space, astronomers can avoid these issues and achieve several key benefits. Space telescopes have an unobstructed view, not being affected by weather, daylight, or atmospheric turbulence, allowing for continuous and consistent observations. They also have broader wavelength coverage, as Earth's atmosphere blocks many wavelengths of light, such as ultraviolet and X-rays. This enables space telescopes to detect and study these wavelengths, offering a more comprehensive view of the universe. Moreover, without atmospheric distortion, space telescopes can capture sharper and more detailed images.

  Data lakes and warehouses have become increasingly fragile, costly, and difficult to maintain as data gets bigger and moves faster. Data meshes can help your organization decentralize data, giving ownership back to the engineers who produced it. This book provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of data mesh patterns for streaming and real-time data services. 
   
   
   
  Authors Hubert Dulay and Stephen Mooney examine the vast differences between streaming and batch data meshes. Data engineers, architects, data product owners, and those in DevOps and MLOps roles will learn steps for implementing a streaming data mesh, from defining a data domain to building a good data product. Through the course of the book, you'll create a complete self-service data platform and devise a data governance system that enables your mesh to work seamlessly. 
   
   
   
  With this book, you will design a streaming data mesh using Kafka; learn how to identify a domain; build your first data product using self-service tools; apply data governance to the data products you create; learn the differences between synchronous and asynchronous data services; and implement self-services that support decentralized data.
