DESCRIPTION:Humans have gazed at the stars since the dawn of civilization\,
  but we've never had an opportunity quite like the one we have today. Joha
 nnes Kepler had to travel to Prague (and by some accounts practically stea
 l) to get his hands on the astronomical data he needed to discover the law
 s of planetary motion. Today\, you can download data from the world's most
  powerful space missions in minutes\, from your own home.\nModern astrophy
 sics is a data science\, and almost all of the data professional scientist
 s use daily is freely available online\, for everyone. There are really on
 ly a handful of types to get to grips with: images\, light curves\, spectr
 a\, photometry\, gravitational waves\, and multi-messenger observations. T
 hese come in simple formats\, often just tables like a spreadsheet\, that 
 you can explore with Excel or a couple of lines of Python. The analysis to
 ols scientists use are open source too.\nIn this talk I want to convince y
 ou that the barrier to entry is much lower than you think. I'll walk you t
 hrough what kinds of data exist\, what you can discover with them\, and ho
 w to take your first steps\, including platforms like Zooniverse\, where c
 itizen scientists are already contributing to real discoveries. The univer
 se's data is for you too.
