Accelerating scientific insight into global environmental systems

Galaxy Zoo and WorldWide Telescope Integrate

Galaxy Zoo users can now fly from galaxy to galaxy through the Microsoft Research WorldWide Telescope (WWT). On September 2, 2009, Galaxy Zoo and WWT simultaneously released updates enabling the integration of the two tools.

The Galaxy Zoo online astronomical citizen science project invites the public to help classify photographs of more than a million galaxies. It is estimated that as few as 10,000 to 20,000 volunteers could complete, in one month, work that would take researchers years to finish.
