Google plans to host terabytes of open-source scientific datasets on research.google.com.

The storage will be free to scientists and access to the data will be free for all. Two planned datasets are all 120 terabytes of Hubble Space Telescope data and the images from the Archimedes Palimpsest, the 10th century manuscript that inspired the Google dataset storage project.
