IIRC Wolfram had a blog post about how everything is developing a data/computational angle - he called it Computational X a few years ago now. Fitting they would call this Computational Astronomy.

Omg. In Nassim Taleb words, you merciless imbecile. Wolfram calling computational X means nothing. The term computational existed decades ago and within the realm of computational science people tended to joke about computation X y and z. Just because wolfram has a media publisher that merciless imbeciles subscribe who are ignorant towards word uses, doesn’t mean he is the inventor of cellular Automata, complexity theory and computational science.
