Greetings,
The Milky Way Project has been live since December 7th and is still
going strong, taking data from the Spitzer Space Telescope and asking
you all to help us map the galaxy. If you haven't tried it out yet,
visit http://www.milkywayproject.org.
The Milky Way project volunteers have collectively classified more
than 116,000 images. This involved marking a whopping 141,000 bubbles,
5,000 possible galaxies and 15,000 star clusters! Those are the raw
numbers. When we combine all the individual drawings we find that you
have created a catalogue of about 5,000 unique bubbles between you.
This is about ten times larger than the current best published
catalogue!
You can read more on the blog about the way we collate the data, on
the blog, at http://blogs.zooniverse.org/mwp/ ... pdate-for-aas-217/.
The science team are all incredibly excited to begin working with your
data to create new and updated catalogues of bubbles, star clusters,
galaxies and more.
We have also created a list of the Top 10 favourite images from across
the whole project. This is a beautiful collection of images that you
can view either as a blog post at
http://blogs.zooniverse.org/mwp/2011/01/21/your-favourite-images/ or
on Milky Way Talk at
http://talk.milkywayproject.org/collections/CMWS00002u
We'll be in touch soon with more updates. Meanwhile, enjoy the
beautiful imagery from the Milky Way Project.
Rob and the Zooniverse Team
PS - We are planning to launch a new project in early 2011 and are
looking for beta testers. If you would like to take part in a beta
test of a new citizen science project about ancient texts, please get
in touch with us on team@galaxyzoo.org and make the subject of your
email 'Ancient Texts Beta'.
PPS - You are receiving this newsletter because you're a member of one
of the citizen science projects hosted by the Zooniverse (like Galaxy
Zoo). If you don't want to receive future emails from us, just visit
