+## LSDB - Large Survey DataBase
+
+A framework to facilitate and enable spatial analysis for extremely large astronomical databases 
+(i.e. querying and crossmatching O(1B) sources). This package uses dask to parallelize operations across
+multiple HiPSCat partitioned surveys.
+
+Check out our [ReadTheDocs site](https://lsdb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
+for more information on partitioning, installation, and contributing.
