The document discusses the challenges of big data in astronomy. It describes several upcoming and current astronomical surveys that will produce enormous amounts of data, such as Euclid which will collect 15 terabytes per day starting in 2022. Dealing with such large datasets requires new techniques for storage, processing, analyzing, classifying, compressing and visualizing the data. Machine learning and citizen science are helping to process the data more efficiently. Future surveys like the Square Kilometer Array telescope will pose even greater challenges by producing data at terabytes per second.
