You too, can be an astronomer

Posted on July 13, 2007 by zinger

A team of astronomers needs your help. It’s not terribly easy to get computers to distinguish between galaxy shapes, but fortunately humans are not only very good at it, but seem to actually enjoy gazing out in to space. So, go to galaxyzoo.org, look at a few pretty pictures from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey , and help classify millions of galaxies and aid research in to how they form and evolve while you’re at it..

This seems considerably more valuable than “White Glove Tracking“, altho I guess the concept’s the same.
