    Disregard! Pete’s comment is sufficient for bucket enumeration.

  This is weird. The Smithsonian page [1] says "Data hosting provided by AWS Public Dataset Program", and there's the Amazon blog post you linked, but the data set seems to be missing from the registry Amazon publishes. [2] I guess no one submitted a pull request yet?

  I can confirm that this dataset is indeed part of the AWS Public Dataset Program. We were finalizing some details, but this dataset is now listed in the Registry of Open Data: https://registry.opendata.aws/smithsonian-open-access/ https://registry.opendata.aws/smithsonian-open-access/ Enjoy! I’m personally very excited about this dataset, and couldn’t be more impressed with the people, mission, and, well, everything at the Smithsonian.
