The Role of Data Science in Astronomy and Interstellar Exploration 
Space has always been a fascinating frontier for humans. From the first satellite, Sputnik 1, in 1957, to the amazing Mars rovers, our adventures in space show our love for discovery, creativity, and courage. Exploring space is a big dream, always pushing us to learn more and go further. Nowadays, data science is making a meaningful contribution to space technology. It's changing how we think about space. Being able to gather, understand, and use lots of data has helped us get to know the universe better and has changed how we explore and move through space...

VOPlot v1.8 Beta 
VOPlot v1.8Beta includes many enhancements and bug fixes. To name a few v1.8Beta supports multi-grid plots for 2D Scatter-Plot which allows the user to have multiple plots having grid size from 1x1 to 3x3 in a single window. Paginated view is added to see data in tabular format which allows user to navigate systematically. Provision to label Lat/Long lines is also added. Users can now plot a cumulative histogram for all histogram types. VOPlot 1.8Beta shows the metadata of a FITS file instantaneously while the actual loading happens in background. VOPlot v1.8Beta also provides better handling of "faulty data" while parsing an ASCII file.

 Lyaska [Laska] Vatslav Vatslav 

General data:

24.08.1862 - 27.07.1943

Place of birth: Prague City, Czech Kingdom, Austrian Empire

Studied in: Charles University, Prague City, Austro-Hungarian Empire (since 1993 Charles University, Prague City, Czech Republic) (1887);

Key interests: mathematisc, astronomy, geodesy, geophysics, seismology, meteorology. ScD Thesis: The theory of linear differential equations in their historical development. (1887 );


Biography:

He was born August 24, 1862 in Prague City of the Czech Kingdom as part of the Austrian Empire. His father Vaclav, who worked in the field of mechanical engineering, married Mary Mennel Crochetz. He was the first-born in a large family. He had three brothers: Joseph, Joseph and Franciszek, who had not lived until his birthday.

At the age of six, the boy was given by his parents to the Czech-language school. He had wonderful successes in all subjects, but since childhood he dreamed of becoming an astronomer and followed her ... Then a boy studied for several years at a German-speaking gymnasium at the Bhusiids monastery.

In 1883 he entered the German university as a student in the field of "mathematics and physics". A year later a young scientist had his first scientific work.

Being a student, he independently discovered the silvery clouds on June 10, 1885 (two days earlier they were discovered by the English astronomer Thomas Bakgause, and two days later - V.K. Cesarsky).

In 1887 he graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Charles (Charles) -Ferindanda in Prague. The final thesis of his study was the work "The theory of linear differential equations in their historical development." Then he began working as an astronomer at the Clementinum Observatory in Prague, where he worked mainly as a volunteer. However, the difficult material family after the death of his father in 1888, about which he had the responsibility of caring as an elderly man in the family, he was forced to leave the observatory and look for another job. So a young scientist took up a geodesy, after undergoing retraining in 1890 at the Czech Technical University in Prague. So, starting from this year, he began to give lectures on technical cartography, geodesy and photogrammetry at a technical university (present Ivan Franko National University of Lviv).

Moving from Prague to Lviv (then Lemberg, Austria-Hungary) in November 1895 (according to other data as early as 1894) at the invitation of the chair of spherical astronomy and higher geodesy of the Lviv Polytechnic, which included the Astronomical Observatory , which emerged from the department of geodesy and spherical astronomy during 1895 (6, and according to some data he began to fulfill his duties as far back as February 28, 1894) -1909 gg. He expanded the observatory material base of this observatory, purchasing a number of new devices. Observations were mainly applied, determining the time and geographical coordinates.

In 1897, the Austro-Hungarian Ministry of Education affirmed Professor, Head of the Department of Spherical Astronomy and Higher Geodesy, Director of the Lviv Polytechnic Astronomical Observatory Vaclava Lyaska, private associate professor of astronomy at Lviv University.

In 1898 he became a professor of astronomy and higher geodesy at the University of Lviv, and in March 1910 he returned to Prague.

He founded the seismological station in 1901 at the astronomical observatory of the Lviv Polytechnic and managed it. From 1893 he headed the Observatory and Meteorological Station from 1899

Observed comets 1892 VI, 1895 IV, 1896 I, 1899 I, planets, defined the orbits of comets and small planets: developed the theory of the indignant motion of the planets. Using the 8 "telescope with the spectrograph together with G.Gruss studied 13 stars with bright lines in the spectrum. They investigated the luminosity curves and determined the maximums of 24 variable stars, mostly long-periodic and semi-regular. Vaclav Laska was engaged in meteorology. In 1887 he published a great work "Storm in Prague in 1840-85."

In 1911 he became a professor of applied mathematics at the Charles-Ferdinand University School of Fine Arts.

In 1920 he founded the National Geophysical Institute of Czechoslovakia and was approved by its director.

He died on July 27, 1943.

Geodesist, geophysicist, seismologist, astronomer and meteorologist, mathematician is the author of about 300 publications (in most of the seismology), as well as a textbook on spherical astronomy (Lviv, 1901). In 1899 and in 1901 separate editions were issued by him "Astronomia sferyczna and geodezja wyzsza". He is considered one of the founders of modern seismology. Formulated the basic problems of tectonophysics. It is known that he also engaged in algebraic analysis, function theory, statistics, and probability theory in his professional activity.
