Classifying galaxies

Posted on February 24, 2012 by Jennifer A. Liss

Bob Noel recently pointed me to this example of user-contributed metadata: citizen astronomers have classified galaxies via the Galaxy Zoo project. Information about the project can be viewed at the archived website.

A ‘Galaxy Zoo 2’ project is currently underway here. Galaxy Zoo: Hubble enlists astronomers in the classification of galaxies found in the archives of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.
