| Abstract: |
The ESAC Science Data Centre (ESDC) provides services and tools to access
and retrieve observations and data from all ESA space science missions
(astronomy, planetary science, and heliophysics). We have recently developed
a new suite of user-friendly web-based applications that are easy to use and
allow the seamless exploitation of the scientific data from current and past
ESA astrophysics missions. In this paper I will touch on the rationale behind
an approach that aims to stimulate scientific curiosity and creativity in the
astronomical community by making it easier to literally see the same scene
in a different light. I will illustrate some of the new services offered by
the ESDC, in particular the European Hubble Archive and the Astronomy Multi
Mission Interface, which provide full access to the entire sky as observed
with ESA missions. |
